WHAT
What is website tracking?
The term website tracking refers to capturing and analyzing the specific behavior of users on a website. It falls under the area of web analytics and provides insights into how users behave during their visit to your website.
A few years ago, capturing such web activities was an extensive and demanding endeavor. To evaluate visitor logs and create meaningful statistics, complex software had to be set up on the web server. This not only consumed valuable resources of the development team but also often negatively affected the speed of the web server. Fortunately, digital innovation is also making steady progress in the field of web analytics, so integrating insightful web analytic tools for web tracking is much easier nowadays.
Choosing the Right Web Analytics Tool
One of the most well-known and widely used web analytics tools is Google Analytics.
Especially since the updated version Google Analytics 4, Google's analytics tool offers a wide range of evaluation options. We regularly integrate Google Analytics because it is easy to use due to its user-friendly design.
However, anyone looking for alternatives independent of Google will find options as well. The web analytics tool etracker impresses with its German servers and short loading times. However, some knowledge is necessary to integrate etracker. The web analytic tool Matomo (formerly Piwik) is particularly easy to customize due to its open-source code. Moreover, Matomo allows hosting on your own servers, providing maximum data control.
Which tool is right depends on the specific needs and requirements of your own website. Here is an overview of the most important advantages and disadvantages of the most popular web analytics tools:

WHY
That's why implementing web tracking is worthwhile
The smallest changes on your website have a tremendous impact on the number of users visiting your website. Thanks to Web Analytics, you can find out whether improvements are needed or if changes made have a positive effect. For this, analysis tools use various metrics to evaluate visitor flows in detail:
The page view records how often a page is accessed. This helps you find out which content is relevant to the target audience and which garners less interest. This way, content creation can be planned more easily and tailored to the desires and needs of your specific audience.
The metric of the number of users shows whether your audience has grown and if marketing efforts have been successful. In particular, the users who visit your site generate what are called sessions. You can use these to map the journey of users through your website.
This way, you gain valuable information for your sales, marketing, and product teams. By tracking start and end points, the website can be optimized for the target audience. This optimization may also refer to personalization, as customers and visitors expect more personalization than ever before. Advanced analysis tools also determine whether a visitor is new or has already visited your site.
Moreover, with the implementation of web tracking, you can determine which source users found your site from. Evaluate using web analytics whether displayed campaigns, posts on social networks, or an organic search were the starting point of the page view.
Even when users leave your site, website tracking provides insights into possible reasons or causes. The time users spend on your page is an important indicator of their interest in your service or product. The lower the so-called bounce rate of your website, the more people enjoy the content you show them. Thus, the bounce rate can be used as an indicator of relevant content.
These metrics are just examples of the multitude of options that website tracking offers you. Depending on the web analytics tool, you gain more or less information. We are happy to work with you to determine which information is relevant for your website.
