Research direction

Locate the React plugin's history listener and page-view tracking entry point, then inspect how history replaces are detected. Determine whether the intended behavior is to always exclude replaces or to add a configurable option; done means replace operations no longer create unwanted page views while normal navigation still does.

Description

enhancement help wanted

The React plugin currently tracks a page view every time the history listener is called, even during a page replace. This may not be desirable to those who replace the current page to update page state, since that currently causes a new page view to be tracked.

Could we consider excluding page replaces or adding an option to exclude page replaces from tracking page views?
