Google Analytics

note

From July 1, 2023 Universal Analytics (UA) will be deprecated. This Google Analytics extension focuses on the latest version, i.e., GA4.

Introduction

Google Analytics is one of the most popular tools for tracking website traffic and collecting visitor insights. This extension uses GA4 which is a recently launched upgraded version of Google Analytics. The tool assists you with identifying the top sources of user traffic, evaluating your marketing campaigns and activities, tracking goals (like purchases or adding products to carts), finding patterns and trends in user engagement, as well as finding demographic information about your visitors.
