Enable Google Analytics Site Load Tracking

Google Analytics has included a new feature in the latest version that tracks your page speed. It allows you to identify the slowest pages of your site.

New Google Analytics Feature: Load Time Measurement

To enable with vbseo 3.6.0 edit this code on line 2278 in vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo.php:

Find:

Code:

vbseo_insert_code("

and replace with:

Code:

array_push($more_tracking, "['_trackPageLoadTime']");
vbseo_insert_code("

After a day or so you should see some measurements coming through on the new interface for Google Analytics under Content > Site Speed

Noodles could you be more specific about the second step? Does it go immediately after this:

Code:

vbseo_insert_code("

Just before

Code:

vbseo_insert_code("

It's only really one step btw, just add the change to the php file. If you were manually adding Google Analytics code you'd use the other method. I'll change my post to stop confusion.

Thanks for sharing. This will most likely make it into the next vbseo release.

This is now implemented to vBSEO and will be distributed with next vBSEO version

Noodles,

Thanks so much for clarifying that. Brian/Mert, that's good to know.

Do I have to generate a new report for Google Analytics? I've added the code, however when I click on the content tab on the left side of the analytics dashboard I don't see anything listed about page speed. I've checked my page source and the load tracking analytics code is being used.

I don't think it's on the 'current' layout.

If you have the option, click on the link on the top right by your name to the 'new version'.


Then, you should get a speed menu

Brian,

Thanks a million for the speedy response. Speed tracking is indeed listed under the new version. It's all set up and working
