Introduction
Google Analytics has become one of the most powerful modern day tools for website monitoring. It offers very strong tracking tools you can use to better understand your website visitors, and keep up with your website maintenance!
Take an E-Commerce store for example, if you have an online store selling products and you want to find out how many visitors you have, where they’re coming from, and even which device they are using, you can use Google Analytics! Having knowledge of these user behaviours can be a very valuable asset to have when trying to grow your business.
