Set up Google Analytics (site statistics)

Update: From 1st July 2023 Google is replacing Universal Analytics (UA codes) with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) codes. See this Google support article.

You will be required to move to a GA4 code to continue to track analytics on your site. See this Google support article for steps on how to do this.

You are able to set up Google Analytics for your Sporty website to be able to view site traffic.

3. Follow the instructions outlined in this support article to set up your Google Analytics
