Google Analytics setup on a Flarum forum

mventures

Hi there,

I have 3 questions:
(1) If I copy-paste the Google Analytics HTML script into the Custom Footer, will it work?
(2) Will this record the visitor stats for the homepage page only or the entire site irrespective of which tag the user lands on?
(3) I wish to track the performance of each section/tag/category on my forum. How do I do this - multiple GA scripts for each section?

Hope I haven’t confused you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yes

The entire site. Be aware that Flarum is an SPA (Single Page Application) and all visits will be treated at site level. However, individual links are recorded as such

You’d need to concatenate the scripts, or consolidate them into one, and attach them at the footer.

Thanks phenomlab!
On the 3rd point, you mean wrap the individual GA scripts of each category within one big script?

mventures Yes - this would be better performance wise.
