Navigating Through Google Analytics
Upon Integrating Google Analytics, you'll observe three sub-tabs, with the "Overview" tab being the first and active one.
1. Overview
This tab is segmented into multiple sections.
Sessions
Your total number of sessions is displayed boldly next to the icon at the top. Below this, a bar chart visualizes the frequency of sessions on your website, using the X-axis for dates and the Y-axis for counts.
Users
This section, similar in structure, maintains a daily record of unique users visiting your site, illustrated through a bar graph.
Page Views
Similar to the above sections, this bar graph provides daily data on the individual page views your site attracts.
Bounce Rate
This metric monitors your daily bounce rate, which is classified as an instance when a user visits only a single page or fails to perform a campaign's intended action upon reaching your site.
Session Duration
This graph depicts the average session length per day, indicating the duration a user spends on your website.
Referrals
At the bottom, you can find a list of the most prevalent sources driving traffic to your website, which could include search engines, social media, funnel landing pages, and more.
2. Browsers & OSs
This tab offers insights into the number of views your page receives from different internet browsers and operating systems.
On the left side, a pie chart represents all your visitors, partitioned and color-coded to indicate the percentage of users that utilize a particular browser or OS, with the total count displayed in the center.
The right side further dissects each browser by user numbers. Hovering over the bar will reveal the precise count, providing an alternative to reading the graph.
Both the Browsers and Operating Systems sections allow you to toggle between Graph mode and Table mode using the icons in the top right corner of each section.
3. Geolocation
The final tab offers a geographic distribution of your website's stats.
Sessions, Users, or Page Views can be selected from the dropdown menu in the top-right corner. Each metric is assigned a specific color, which is reflected on the map as you alternate between metrics.
Hovering over a location on the map discloses the count for the selected statistic in that area. This count is also represented next to the color bar in the top-right corner.
Numbers are also displayed by country at the bottoms of the page showing the country, sessions, users, and page views in a chart.
