Web analytics is currently an opt-in public beta. This means it's not yet a perfect experience, but we'd love to know your thoughts. Please share your feedback and follow our roadmap.
Web analytics enables you to easily track and monitor many of the most important metrics for your website.
Unlike product analytics, web analytics offers a more streamlined and focused experience. This is especially useful for marketers, content creators, or anyone used to tools like Google Analytics. It includes a dashboard that offers essential metrics, such as visitors, views, sessions, session duration, bounce rate, paths, referrers, and more.
Get started with web analytics
Getting started is a simple three-step process.
1. Install PostHog on your website
Follow the installation instructions to setup either the JavaScript snippet or the JavaScript Web SDK for the website you want to track.
Single page apps might require you to manually implement
$pageviewand$pageleaveevent capture for every navigation change. See our tutorials on how to do this in React, Next.js, Vue, and Svelte.
2. Enable the web analytics beta
In PostHog, click your profile icon in the top right and then click "Feature preview." In the feature preview modal, enable "Web Analytics Dashboard"
3. Go to the web analytics dashboard
Now, you can click the newly added web analytics tab to go to the dashboard.
