Overview of Traffic sources reports

IMPORTANT: Sitefinity CMS Analytics module is unavailable after July 1, 2024, because it depends on the discontinued Google Universal Analytics. We recommend using Sitefinity Insight and the Script manager (available in Sitefinity CMS 14.3 and later) to integrate another analytics solution.

In addition to the above indicators the Traffic sources main report displays also the following tables and charts, containing details about the traffic sources and what generates them:

The system opens the traffic source detailed report containing an area chart of the visits from this specific source, together with the values of the main indicators for this source only.
