How to Customize Analytify WordPress Dashboard Widget

Customizing your Analytify dashboard widget with different dates and various types of statistics can provide you with valuable insights into your website’s performance. Let’s explore how you can do this step by step:

Step 1: Set Date Range

Start by selecting the date range you want to analyze. You can choose a specific time frame, like the last week, month, or a custom date range.

Step 2: Choose Stat Type

• Once you’ve selected the date range, it’s time to choose the type of statistics you want to view. In this example, let’s say we want to see the top countries visiting your website.

Step 3: Select “Top Countries”

Check Top Pages in Google Analytics Dashboard Widget

In Google Analytics, Top Pages refer to the most frequently visited pages on your website during a specified period. Tracking top pages is important for understanding user behavior and optimizing the performance and content of a site.

Monitoring the top pages of your website allows you to determine which content is most engaging and relevant to your audience. You can then produce more of that type or improve upon it.

Steps to View Top Pages in Analytify:

• Go to the Analytify Widget on your WordPress dashboard.
• Select the Top Pages metric (as we selected the Top Countries metric above).
• Click on View Stats.
• Upon clicking, you’ll be presented with data showcasing the most visited pages on your site, along with their respective view counts.
