You can even see <strong>what pages users access<\/strong>, which can indicate what kinds of content are in demand and, adversely, what kinds of content aren&#8217;t. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can see the <strong>geographical location<\/strong> of users, their <strong>browsers<\/strong>, <strong>screen resolutions<\/strong>, <strong>Flash support status<\/strong> and more. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, Google Analytics can determine <strong>what times users visit your site<\/strong>. This can be useful for finding the optimal time for publishing new content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How users access your site<\/strong> can also be viewed. This could be <strong>through search engines<\/strong>, <strong>direct links<\/strong>, or <strong>referral links<\/strong> from external websites. Such knowledge could possibly influence choices about what search engines to target for search engine optimization (SEO), or other ways to promote your site, including through possible partnerships with external websites that your audience may be coming from. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Analytics displays a lot of statistics, some of which may not be relevant information for your purposes. In that case, <strong>clutter can be reduced by applying <\/strong>(and even creating) <strong>filters<\/strong> to display only the information that is relevant for your purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5d3e41fc4d8d2ceed2421b10f929eaf wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-install-google-analytics-in-wordpress\/\">https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-install-google-analytics-in-wordpress\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c06dc38da43d3a8de55300d1785dcf2d wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metricswatch.com\/google-analytics-tips\">https:\/\/metricswatch.com\/google-analytics-tips<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Google Analystics?
