TRACK FILE DOWNLOADS ON WORDPRESS SITE
Keeping track of the activities happening on your
website can help you understand what is useful
for your visitors and what is not. Monitoring
your website can help you make improvements and
enhance the worthiness of your website by
addressing the shortcomings. Though Google
Analytics helps in monitoring the traffic, it
does not directly track downloads. So, you need
to set up download tracking to keep an eye on
what content is being downloaded. Wordpress
customization with the installation of the right
plugins will help properly track the downloads,
and you can create the right content to engage
your audience.
