I have a site (site A) which used to get allot of traffic from a 3rd party site industry niche portal website (site B), both sites used to be HTTP. Traffic was viewable as referral traffic in Google analytics for site A.

Site B implemented HTTPS, and shortly after i implemented HTTPS on site A, via Lets Encrypt.

Site B has a management dashboard where i can see supposed clicks through to site A. But when i look in Google Analytics for Site A, there is no referral traffic from Site B.

The link on Site B to Site A is using the HTTPS url.

Site B dose not seem to be passing the traffic through a 3rd party tracking URL.

Any ideas why i cant see the referral traffic in Google Analytics ?
