Analytics Toolbar
Userbird can display analytics on your site, as you browse, using the Userbird toolbar.
Currently, the toolbar provides:
- Visitors
- Views
- Median time on page
- Median scroll depth
- Exits
- Previous paths (how people got to this page)
- Next paths (where people went next)
- External link clicks
The toolbar automatically updates with the URL of the current page as you navigate around your site.
Users of your website will not be able to see your analytics. They are only visible if you are logged in to Userbird.
How to Enable the Userbird Analytics Toolbar
Go to your site settings
You can find your Site Settings by clicking the three dots next to your site name.
Enable the Toolbar widget
Make sure the 'Toolbar Widget' is enabled and press Update Site.
The toolbar widget will not be loaded unless you are logged into Userbird.
Normal users will not suffer a larger analytics payload if this is enabled.
Return to your site, and click 'Launch' from the top
You must launch your site from Userbird for the toolbar to activate, as Userbird passes a login token to your website.
The login token lasts for 30 days.
Userbird toolbar automatically loads on your website
You should see the Userbird toolbar launch in the bottom right corner. You can move the toolbar around as necessary.
Security Considerations
Make sure you trust the other scripts on your website. In order to work, Userbird needs to share your Userbird login token with your site.
