Tithely Sites Analytics with Google Analytics

Summary: Tithely Sites does not have built-in analytics, but you can easily connect to Google Analytics for powerful insights into your website's performance. This guide will walk you through setting up Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to track visitor behavior, understand which content is most engaging, and make data-informed decisions to grow your online ministry.


Before You Begin

  • You must have already created a Google Analytics account and set up a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property for your website. You can create one for free on the Google Analytics website.
  • You will need your GA4 Measurement ID, which looks like G-XXXXXXXXXX.
  • You must have Admin access to your Tithely Site.

โ— Important: You Must Use Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Google's older analytics platform, Universal Analytics (UA), has been discontinued and no longer processes data. You must use a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property and its corresponding Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX). Universal Analytics IDs (UA-XXXXXXXX-X) will no longer work.
