Real-Time Stats

Google Analytics Real Time

Real-Time allows you to monitor activity as it happens on your site or app. The reports are updated continuously and each hit is reported seconds after it occurs. For example, you can see how many people are on your site right now, which pages or events they're interacting with, and which goal conversions have occurred.

To see Real-Time Events: Select the "Reporting Tab" and then go to Real Time -> Events.

Smart Load of Google Analytics Library

Nowadays website speed is everything and we know it. We don't want to slow your website down. Thus, in order to avoid duplicate Google Analytics tracking code and increase your page's load time, Engage Box will try to find and use any existing loaded instance Google Analytics library in your page.

If Engage Box can't find any already loaded instance of Google Analytics, the Universal Google Analytics library will be loaded and used instead.

Want to get even more from Google Analytics?

To get the most out of Engage Box in Google Analytics, we highly recommend that you configure Goals, Funnels, and the Ecommerce options for Google Analytics. Configuring these parts of Google Analytics will not just help you get more from your Engage Box Statistics, but give you a much better understanding of your website as a whole.
