WEBDEV and Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a very popular tool for measuring site traffic. Google Analytics is used to measure the number of views for each site page, the load time of each page, the navigation path, the load time of page resources (images), the rebound rate, the environment of Web user (device, geographical location, language, browser, ...), the source of navigation (home page, ad, ...), etc. WEBDEV automatically integrates the trackers required for Google Analytics statistics into your websites, so you'll know everything about the path taken by visitors to your sites! If necessary, you have the ability to include additional trackers in your sites, to manage special cases: - dowloading a file,
- using planes, ...
This documentation page presents: Note: Google Analytics takes into account all pages that can be referenced, i.e. static pages, AWP pages and PHP pages.
 Warning

For existing projects, Universal Analytics is used by default. For new projects, Google Analytics 4 is used by default. This help page describes the different steps you need to follow.
