PaleDNN Analytics

The PaleDNN Analytics Module gives you complete control over when and what data is sent to Google Analytics for your reports.

Feature List
  • Hide Administrator user page visits from reporting to Google, and unneccesarily skewing your "page views".
  • Hide Host user (Super User) page visits from reporting to Google.
  • Allows segmentation of users by role to determine how different user types are using your site.
  • Test mode available to inject script in the page without executing the script.
  • Page names (including hierarchy in page structure) can be reported to Google instead of URLs. This helps eliminate multiple URLs being reported for the same page.
  • Track clicked links that point to files on your site or extneral links not on your site.
  • Changeable Session Timeout to help with bounce rates being reported.
  • Browser Information reporting to Google's servers can be disabled.
  • Flash Detection along with version number reporting to Google's servers can be disabled.
  • Page Title detection can be disabled.
  • Sampling Rate can be changed if you site has enough traffic to need to limit reporting to Google's servers.
  • Set domain name being reported to Google for multi-site aggregation of analytics data.
  • Both Page Module and Skin Object installers included.
