Statistics measurement tools

WEBDEV allows the use of several statistical tools on a project. You can use:
  • Google Analytics 4 or Universal Analytics
  • Matomo, etc.
To link Google Analytics to your siteyou need to:
  1. Define an account in Google Analytics. This account must be linked to your site.
  2. Retrieve the Google Analytics tracking ID associated with your account.
  3. Specify the following in the WEBDEV project description window:
    • tracking ID.
    • the management mode used: Google Analytics 4 or Universal Analytics.
      Warning
      On July 1, 2023, Google Analytics is moving from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4. WEBDEV 2025 supports both versions. The WLanguage functions have been adapted. For existing projects, Universal Analytics is used by default. For new projects, Google Analytics 4 is used by default.
  4. Deploy the WEBDEV project.
For more details, see WEBDEV and Google Analytics.
To use the MATOMOyou need to:
  1. Set up a Matomo account (https://fr.matomo.org) with your email address and website address.
  2. Choose your tracking method. In our case, select "Install with Javascript Code".
  3. Copy the suggested JavaScript code.
  4. Paste the JavaScript code into the "Custom HTML header (Matomo, etc.)" field. For example:
    <!-- Matomo -->
    <script>
     var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
     /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
     _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
     _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
     (function() {
       var u="https://xxxx.matomo.cloud/";
       _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
       _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']);
       var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
       g.async=true; g.src='https://cdn.matomo.cloud/xxx.matomo.cloud/matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
     })();
    </script>
    <!-- End Matomo Code -->
