QuickSearch

Google Analytics (GAL) provides access to a massive amount of data related to how users find and interact with your site. For example, you can see how many people visited a specific page, how long they remained there, where your users live, how certain keywords perform, and so forth.

J1 is different: easy to use, no programming is needed.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is integrated by pure configuration. Simply enable the provider and set your your access credentials to the configuration, and you’re done.
