Analytics
Analytics tracking for websites is an essential aspect of measuring the performance and success of a website. Google Analytics and Google Search Console are two powerful tools that can be used to track various metrics and gain insights about website traffic and user behavior.
Setting up Google Analytics for CMS involved creating a Google Analytics account and then adding the tracking code to the website’s codebase. This was done by adding the code to the header of the website, alternatively, could be done by installing a plugin that can handle the integration. Once the tracking code was added, Google Analytics began collecting data about the CMS’s visitors, such as their location, the pages they visit, and how long they stay on the site.
Google Search Console is another web service by Google that allows webmasters to check indexing status and optimize visibility of their websites. Setting up Google Search Console for CMS involved adding the website to the Search Console and then verifying ownership by adding a code to the website or using DNS record. Once CMS was set up, it began tracking data about the website’s visibility in Google search, such as the keywords that drive traffic to the site, and any crawl errors or security issues.
Both Google Analytics and Google Search Console will provide valuable insights about CMS’s performance and can help to identify areas for improvement. This can include tracking the number of visitors, the pages they visit, their demographics, and what actions they take on the website. It can also help to monitor the website’s search engine ranking and visibility, to identify where the website is ranking for specific keywords and what pages are being indexed by Google.
