Squarespace Analytics 101 - Everything You Need To Know

Squarespace Analytics is their reporting platform that gives you insight into how your site is performing. With Analytics, you can get a clear picture of your visitors and their behavior through visual reports on statistics like pageviews, conversion, sales, referrers, and popular content.

If you have an online store, Analytics includes revenue, conversion, and cart abandonment data so you can track how your business is doing and identify opportunities for growth.

Read on below to get an idea of how Analytics works and how to start using the data!
