Google Analytics Plugin

Adds Google Analytics javascript code to specified pages.

▼ Close info
Since version 2.1, this plugin reads settings from configure. It no longer uses a specific template or skin.

You now have the control which pages to track:
  • for specific users
    • for instance, do not track your own visits
  • for specific webs
    • for instance, do not track visits to System and Trash web
  • for bin scripts
    • for instance, do not track login pages

If you are using a version of this plugin older than 2.1: if you don't change anything, the plugin will continue to work as it did:
  • The previous setting GOOGLESITEKEY will be used as long as the new setting {WebPropertyId} in configure is not set
  • The skin setting googleanalytics will be ignored

About Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a free statistics tool to track website visitors. While this service is especially meant to measure the effectiveness of AdWords, it can be used for any site.

Google presents visitor data in a visually rich dashboard:
