Web Analytics

Use privacy-first analytics for product and growth decisions with operational guardrails around heavy reads and reporting.

What this solves

Combines core event collection and advanced insight surfaces in one system so teams can act without data silos.

Who is this for

  • Product managers tracking activation and retention
  • Growth teams evaluating acquisition and conversion
  • Engineering leaders controlling analytics read performance

Prerequisites

  • Tracking plan and key events defined
  • Goal and conversion model configured
  • Stakeholder reporting cadence agreed

Step-by-step

1. Deploy tracker and validate ingestion

Confirm event ingestion quality before broad traffic analysis and KPI reporting.

2. Configure goals and conversion mapping

Define activation and revenue-aligned goals for decision-grade reporting.

3. Analyze advanced insights

Use funnel, journey, retention and attribution surfaces to identify high-leverage improvements.

4. Share and operationalize results

Publish summaries and public-share artifacts for aligned product, growth and leadership decisions.

Operational outputs

  • Stats and segment trends by source, device and geography
  • Goal and conversion insights for activation loops
  • Journey, retention and attribution reports for decision reviews

Plan availability

  • Core analytics and goals are available from Pro tier
  • Advanced insights and operational surfaces are enterprise-weighted
  • Historical depth and heavy-query controls follow plan limits

Limits and guardrails

  • Control heavy read patterns with cache and rollout guardrails
  • Define event schema ownership to avoid reporting drift
  • Treat minute-level freshness as eventual consistency, not instant streaming

Expected outcome

  • Teams make faster growth and product decisions from one source
  • Conversion diagnostics become repeatable and shareable
  • Analytics operations remain stable under enterprise read load

Troubleshooting paths

  • If event gaps appear, validate tracker deployment and ingestion filters
  • If dashboards lag, review cache windows and heavy-query policy
  • If attribution looks inconsistent, verify campaign and source normalization
