Background
There are various web analytics tools that allow insights into the behaviour of visitors to a website. These services can be useful in the case of VIVO to analyse and subsequently improve the use of the site overall or the uptake of specific VIVO features. There are several popular services. Among the most widely used are Google Analytics and Matomo (formerly Piwik).
Example: Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a popular, and proprietary analytics platform for measuring web traffic to a site. VIVO supports Google Analytics through a Freemarker Template dedicated for the purpose. You will need to sign up for Google Analytics, and use your site domain and your key as part of the configuration.
