Can You Pass The Analytics Test?

So... I have to be honest and say... I would not pass the test, Im not sure exactly what my analytics are telling me...

Except.... I do know that I am getting traffic to my website which is simply awesome as its only around 4 months old and I have around 45 posts so far. Not as many as I would like but with the SAC its definitely been very positive in that I am constantly thinking of new titles, different graphics I can make, videos, - really anything that will be interesting to the reader.

But back to analytics.... What do you make of this? Im not sure the session duration is that great but hey I didnt think there was anyone out there !

Interestingly from this next one, it looks like there is someone on my site at most times of day... and I thought my audience would be just USA and UK so this is very interesting. The heaviest time of day being late evening for me, so I would think that would be USA visitors.





I dont really know hat this is telling me.. user retention? And the active users? Im sure its very interesting but not sure if I should be excitied or not.



Its good to know that Im doing great work with a new number of users, but what about getting referrals to sign up.. Ive not achieved that yet.


As the ultimate goal for this site is sign ups, Im failing. But even though I don't actually understand all the analytics, I do feel encouraged !


What do y'all think? Am I on the right track? Is the growth a little slow? I don't pass the analytics test because Im still not understanding my analytics! 😢


Have a great weekend.....

Hi Helen
Fantastic post i have just looked at mine
Thank you for sharing
Tracey

Very good performance you are on the right track
Claudio

Thanks Claudio !

Hey hey
That is awesome.
👍🥳

Is it?

Yes, no doubt! Great niche also... will be a boomer soon

(Just speed is a little slow and needs improvement)

Which is the speed? I didnt know speed was even on there ! What would you suggest?
Im wondering if its to do with my theme..... Divi... its awesome and I love it but I do wonder if it takes time to load...

I just checked your sites... loads a little too slow
Your theme is ok

Did you install kraken and ask to,activate and to be moved to new servers?

Especially the business one...

Now thats a bit confusing, I have no kraken, maybe I need to call Zeus? 😂
No seriously, what is the kraken? and what new server? Am I out of the loop? A new server?

I,made a blog on it

Kraken is plugin
Install
Ask site suport to acrivate
And move to new servers
And be wowed

Ok, I didnt see that, Ill go find it !

Found it ! You wrote it in July... I was travelling in Africa with iffy wifi and must have missed that.. not to worry Ill hop over there right now and take a look at it.... Thanks !

Ive just read it, so once you have the kraken plugin activated do you automatically get onto a new server or do i have to ask to be put onto it?

Install kraken plugin
Ask site suport to activate plugin and
To mobe your site to new servers

Perfect ! Thankyou ! Ill follow your training on installing it.... and do the backup first. Thanks !

Good luck...
Know transfer takes up some,hours

Thanks ! Does it have the possibility of mucking up the website? just wondering...

What is mucking up? Uh uh

sorry .... will it disrupt the website in any way?

It can happen...
Hence backup

I always make BU with next big move
And never had to use it
So it is rather rare
But murphy...

Ok think Ive backed up.... tools - export but it exported it in a file to my laptop.

oh yes, I know Murphy....

I will check 2 morrow and see if it messed up
😝🤣

Normally not

hahahah... think youll know before then ! 🤣

Hahaha
Better backup, even if no use

I use wp clone plugin
Easy and simple

But again... murphy
😝😜

ok ill use that too

With wordpress tools you have backup,of whatever you want on site
You,can uh... try both

think the wp clone sounds good, if I can back up to the server, rather than my laptop. Its already telling me I have too much stuff on it but when it backed up there was only 3mb.. the site is very new so maybe thats ok

Best sve to server... you can delete later

perfect! Ill do that ! Thankyou !

I think 45 posts in 4 months is a great number, Helen.
As to analytics, I'm not good at that at all but I hope I'll get there one day :)

Thankyou Lenka, I hope that I can keep up the flow!

I'm actually curious what will others post here because I can't guess either what all the graphs and numbers mean, glad you came up with this :)
I've been here only for 3 weeks, there are only 5 posts on my new website.

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate ! Ive been here quite a few years, doing affiliate marketing with a site about twins and triplets but this analytic is from my referral website so its only 4 months old. Its a long way to go. But having said all that, I still dont understand the analytics...thats pretty bad considering how long Ive been here !

You're doing well. Everyone is good at something and you (same as all of us here) can be proud you could have built up your own website(s) and manage it yourself. Not everyone can say that!
And I'm sure we'll get to understand the analytics one day as well :)

Very true ... celebrate what you can do, rather than reflect on what you cant ! There will be someone that will be able to tell me what it all means!

🤣 Thanks Heidi ! I think you're right, anything going up has got to be good !

Lol, Heidi, I'm really waiting for the experts here to jump on it!
