View basic statistics in SiteBuilder

Use the Stats tab in SiteBuilder to see information about your website traffic such as page views, most viewed pages or files, and a breakdown of views by students and staff. If you need anything more than basic statistics, we recommend you use Google Analytics with SiteBuilder. 

In this article:

Choose a reporting period and see page views

  1. To view statistics for your website, go to your home page. Alternatively, to view statistics for a particular section, go to the topmost page in that section.
  2. Go to Edit > View page statistics. You can see a report of page views for the last seven days on the Stats tab:

    Summary report for the last seven days

  3. Use the From and To date pickers to choose the reporting period, up to a maximum of 180 days.
  4. The report shows information for the current page and all sub-pages by default. To see a report for the current page only, select Just this page from the Scope drop-down list.
  5. By default, visits by search engines and anyone with edit or admin permissions are excluded from the report. To include either of these, select the checkboxes Include search engines and Include editors.
  6. When you have finished specifying the options, select Show statistics to run the report.

Audience and location breakdown

  1. Select Show user types below the Page views breakdown heading. The table shows a breakdown of page views by students, staff and people not signed in to the Warwick website.
  2. Select Show user location to see a breakdown of the page views by location - campus, off campus, or other.
  3. Select the Show as percent of total to see the percentage of users for each category instead of displaying the actual numbers.

Most viewed pages

Missing pages

  1. Select the Missing pages section to expand it. The report shows pages or files that do not exist, which people have tried to view. Visitors may have mistyped a URL in their browser, bookmarked a page that has since moved to a new location or followed a broken link.
  2. If you have a significant number of visits to a deleted page, consider replacing it with a forwarding page that redirects the visitor to the information elsewhere on your website.

Referrals

  1. Select the How people got here section to expand it. The report shows you how people arrived at your page, known in web analytics as a ‘referral’. Referrals can be a result of:

    • using a search engine
    • typing the page's URL
    • following a bookmark
    • following a link from another page

Download a report as a CSV file

  1. To download the page views report, select Download data button below the Page views breakdown section.
  2. To download a report for any of Top pages, Top sections, Top files, Missing pages or How people got here, expand the relevant section and select Download data.
