Analytics
Add analytics to Compass so you can understand what readers search, open, and return to.
Analytics can help you decide which articles deserve more depth, which pages go stale, and where readers drop off.
Useful signals for docs
- page views by article
- top landing pages from search
- exit-heavy pages that may need clearer next steps
- internal search queries that reveal missing docs
Good fits for Compass
Compass can work with lightweight or product analytics tools such as:
- Plausible
- Fathom
- PostHog
- Google Analytics
Where to wire it in
Add the tracking script to src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro, inside <head>, so it loads on every page of the docs site.
Start small
If you do not need event-heavy product analytics, a privacy-friendly page analytics tool is usually enough for a docs site.
