How PageFly Analytics Works
PageFly Analytics sends a custom event to your Google Analytics account whenever a customer clicks on trackable elements. Then PageFly calculates to define metrics, and the results are displayed in easy-to-understand charts on the Analytics dashboard.
PageFly provides 6 key metrics to analyze page’s performance as the demonstration below:
| 1. Add-to-cart rate: The percentage of sessions where a product is added to cart. |  |
| 2. Sessions: The total number of sessions on a page. |  |
| 3. Visitors: The total number of unique visitors to a page. |  |
| 4. Product view rate: The number of times a specific product is viewed by visitors within a specified period. |  |
| 5. Sales: Total gross sales generated by a page. This number is calculated based on the product price from complete orders. |  |
| 6. Conversion rate: The percentage of sessions where visitors click on a trackable element from the page. |  |
Common Case
Add A Tracking ID In The Page Editor
In the page editor, you can add a tracking ID for any elements. Each element should be given a different ID so PageFly can separately show the tracked data of that element.
You can set the tracking ID for PageFly Event in the editor by clicking on one element > go to the General tab > scroll down to Tracking > type any tracking ID that is good for you > Save and Publish.
On the Analytics page, it will show the percentage of conversion for that element in the name of the ID you have set before.
This percentage of conversion rate here is the average number of clicks over the number of visitors on the page.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Can’t I Connect PageFly With Google Analytics?
If you see an error message when connecting to GA4, it means that the email address you are using does not have permission to create custom definitions in GA4.
