Q&A
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. It provides detailed statistics and insights into how users interact with a website, including data on visitor demographics, behavior, and conversion patterns. Users embed a JavaScript tracking code on their website pages, which collects data and sends it to Google's servers for processing and reporting.
To set up Google Analytics, you need to create a Google Analytics account, add a property for your website, and then obtain the tracking code. Insert this tracking code into the HTML of your website, just before the closing </head> tag. Once set up, Google Analytics will start collecting data from your website visitors.
Google Analytics tracks a variety of metrics, including sessions (total number of visits), users (individual visitors), pageviews (total number of pages viewed), bounce rate (percentage of single-page visits), average session duration (average time spent on website), and conversion rate (percentage of visitors who complete a predefined goal, such as making a purchase or filling out a form).
