Analytics in practice

What to watch in analytics

Use traffic trends to prioritize documentation improvements.

Use traffic to choose where to improve the docs, then check those choices against real customer questions. A chart can show where readers go, but not necessarily why they are confused.

Start with the busiest pages

Open project analytics and compare the available date ranges. Review top pages for stale examples, missing prerequisites and unclear next steps. A widely visited quickstart is worth keeping especially accurate.

Check how people arrive

Look at top referrers and traffic changes. If a campaign or integration sends readers to a specific page, make sure that page explains the context they need. Device breakdown can help prioritize a mobile review.

Investigate quiet pages

Low traffic can mean a topic is niche or hard to discover. Try finding the page through navigation and search before deciding to remove it.

Combine data with feedback

Keep a short list of repeated support questions and compare it with the docs. Improve the source pages, publish and test the same reader tasks again. The current analytics dashboard reports traffic, not a full search-query or conversion funnel.
