blog.mywebsite.com) Subdomain Tracking: tracking how a user moves between the root domain and its subdomains (mywebsite.com and blog.mywebsite.com) Cross-Domain Tracking: a single report that displays user behavior across two domains as if they were on a single domain (mywebsite.com and ourwebsite.com)
How do I track a subdomain in Google tag manager?
- Set full URL filter (Optional) Set up a filter to see the full URL in your Google Analytics report
- Set Cookie Domain in Google Tag Manager to track subdomains
- Add your domain to the Exclusion Referral List
Why should I use GA4
GA4 allows creating complex conversions. GA4 users’ engagement tracking is much more aligned with contemporary browsing behaviour.
GA4 makes cross-domain tracking setup much easier. GA4 provides access to far more custom dimensions and custom metrics.
Does Hotjar slow website
Could Hotjar affect my site’s performance? Since every piece of JavaScript code added can affect your site somehow, we cannot guarantee that your site will not be affected in any way.
However, the Hotjar script is designed to have minimal impact on your site performance.
How do I know if cross-domain tracking is enabled?
- Check if both domains are validated under the same property
- Validate source domain in the referral exclusion list in Google Analytics
- Check if the allow linker in GTM is set to true
- Target domain should have a linker parameter in the URL
What is the difference between UA and GA4
Universal Analytics highlights Total Users (shown as Users) in most reports, whereas GA4 focuses on Active Users (also shown as Users).
So, while the term Users appears the same, the calculation for this metric is different between UA and GA4 since UA is using Total Users and GA4 is using Active Users.
How do I create a custom filter?
- Select the data item on which you want to filter
- On the toolbar, click the filter icon
- Click Create Custom Filter
- Under Condition, select the type of condition you want
- Optional: Type a value to search for in the Keywords box
How do you implement cross-domain
Set up cross-domain measurement via the Admin The tag on each page must use the same tag ID (i.e., the same “G-” ID) from the same web data stream.
In Admin, click Data Streams in the Property column. Click Web and then click a web data stream.
In the web stream details, click Configure tag settings (at the bottom).
What is channel grouping
Channel Groupings are rule-based groupings of your traffic sources. Throughout Analytics reports, you can see your data organized according to the Default Channel Grouping, a grouping of the most common sources of traffic, like Paid Search and Direct.
What are the four scope types
There are four levels of scope: product, hit, session, and user: Product – value is applied to the product for which it has been set (Enhanced Ecommerce only).
Hit – value is applied to the single hit for which it has been set.
What is meant by cross-domain
Definition(s): A form of controlled interface that provides the ability to manually and/or automatically access and/or transfer information between different security domains.
What is the difference between user sessions and hits
Sessions are incremented with the first hit of a session, whereas entrances are incremented with the first pageview hit of a session.
If the first hit of the session is not a pageview, you may see a difference between the number of session and the number of entrances.
What is a virtual pageview
Virtual Pageviews are simply a data type that you dynamically send to GA, just like you would a custom event.
With a Virtual Pageview, we are sending page hits to GA without requiring the page to reload.
What is Hotjar
Hotjar is an integrated website analytics solution that includes heatmaps of user behaviour, session recordings with mouse tracking, conversion funnels, feedback polls, full surveys and test user recruitment.
What is the difference between a session and a hit
A hit is defined as any single action on a website such as a pageview or an event triggered by watching a video or downloading a pdf.
Hits can also have products associated with them. A session is defined as one or more hits within a certain time frame.
Is Hotjar legal
Hotjar is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What is the difference between subdomain and subdirectory
A subdomain compartmentalizes your website so you can establish specific content types that are distinct from your root domain.
On the other hand, a subdirectory is a pathway within your site. Subdirectories are a level within the domain’s hierarchy.
Subdirectories branch off from the subdomain they belong to.
What is a good bounce rate
As a rule of thumb, a bounce rate in the range of 26 to 40 percent is excellent.
41 to 55 percent is roughly average. 56 to 70 percent is higher than average, but may not be cause for alarm depending on the website.
Anything over 70 percent is disappointing for everything outside of blogs, news, events, etc.
Is hot jar good
Hotjar is the “perfect complement to Google Analytics” Google Analytics will tell you which of your pages have the highest bounce rate, but it won’t give you the tools to understand why—whereas Hotjar’s heat maps, session recordings, and surveys will help you collect that knowledge and make strategic changes.
