I am running into the same problems. But this only happens when previously hidden elements are shown. Only the last element of the set of elements which is shown never gets an impression or an interaction.

The other elements get a replacement of the url with the piwik redirect url. The last one does not.

@tsteur did you find a solution?

Not yet, we should definitely remove the piwik.php redirect and instead track the interaction as a regular tracking request. This will also make the links faster and in general the feature more usable. @mattab this might be even somewhat quick to do and feeling bad for this piwik.php redirect for a long time. Might be something for 3.10 or 3.11

Would you completely remove the feature you mean from the Tracker (which could be useful for other use cases like #6180 and tracking Ads clicks), or more simply "make content interaction tracking send a beacon instead of forcing people through the redirect" (which sounds very good)?

"make content interaction tracking send a beacon instead of forcing people through the redirect"

Yes we would send regular tracking request which falls back to beacon automatically anyway. It'll be still faster than any redirect through Matomo ;)

definitely 👍 Ideally we would not redirect any call through Matomo as it's too slow & risky. added to 3.10.0 but we could move it back to 3.11.0 later

see also the issue closed as duplicate #7782

is this fixed now? the original ticket is from 2015.

I have the same issue atm, where a link was changed to the https://matomo_root/piwik.php/?redirectUrl=...
but onclick the user will not get redirected. The link is hidden in a tab control.

can this be prevented somehow?

thanks

We will fix this as part of Matomo 4 at the latest as part of #6265
