Web Analytics

Web Analytics in OpenReplay’s Analytics module helps you track high-level metrics about your website or application’s usage. Once your tracker is set up and sessions are being captured, you can monitor data such as top pages, user locations, and traffic sources to better understand overall usage patterns.

With Web Analytics, you can answer questions like:

  • Which pages are the most visited?
  • Which browsers and devices are most commonly used?
  • Where are your users located?
  • What are the top sources driving traffic to your site?

These insights help you identify patterns, optimize content, and prioritize improvements.

Drill Down insights from Web Analytics

Section titled Drill Down insights from Web Analytics

Let’s take the Top Browsers card as an example:

  1. Open the Top Browsers card in your dashboard.
  2. Suppose you notice a significant percentage of users are on Chrome. Click on Chrome to filter sessions specifically for those users.
  3. Use the Omnisearch component to dive deeper:
    • Apply filters like specific events (e.g., clicks) or session attributes to narrow your view further.
    • For example, find sessions from Chrome users who encountered a specific error.

By focusing on browser-specific data, you can uncover trends or troubleshoot browser-related issues more effectively.

(Refer to the Omnisearch Guide for additional filtering options.)

Adjust the time range

By default, dashboards display data for the last 7 days. To adjust this:

  1. Click on the time range dropdown (labeled ‘Last 7 days’).
  2. Choose a preset range (e.g., yesterday) or set a custom time frame.
