Page Analytics

Use Page Analytics in Liferay Data Platform to analyze engagement, audience composition, traffic sources, and navigation patterns for an individual page.

To access page analytics, navigate to Sites under Touchpoints, open the Pages tab, and select a page.

On the Overview and Path tabs, the row below the tab bar holds account and segment filters. On the Visitors tab, the segment filter appears only when you view Accounts. On the Overview tab, the Experiences filter sits beside the account and segment filters and narrows the metrics to one of the page’s experiences. For more information about the account and segment filters, see Filtering and Sharing Dashboard Views.

The account, segment, and experience menus sit below a page dashboard's tab bar.
