Analytics can provide you with important and interesting information about how your website is being used.
Various out-of-the box configurations are available for integrating with the appropriate service, for example:
You can also configure your own instance of the Generic Analytics Snippets to define a new service configurations.
The information is then collected by means of small snippets of code that are added to the web pages. For example:
script
tags.var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'https://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
Such snippets enable data to be collected and reports generated. The actual data collected depends on the provider and the actual code snippet used. Example statistics include:
- how many visitors over time
- how many pages visited
- search terms used
- landing pages
</html>
endtag) in the corresponding js
script./apps
do not inherit from the default page component ( /libs/foundation/components/page
) you (or your developers) have to make sure that the corresponding js
