2) Understanding user behavior: Website analytics tools provide information about how users interact with your website. You can track page views, bounce rates, session duration, and conversion rates to know what attracts users to your site, how they navigate it, and what actions they take. Understanding user experience can help you make improvements to enhance user experience and drive conversions.

3) Measuring marketing effectiveness: It allows you to track the performance of your marketing campaigns. You can monitor referral sources, click-through rates, and conversion attribution. This helps you identify which marketing channels and tactics generate the most traffic and conversions, enabling you to allocate your resources effectively and optimize your marketing efforts.

4) Identifying website issues: Website analytics can help you uncover technical issues or bottlenecks on your website. You can pinpoint areas that need improvement by analyzing metrics like page load times, error rates, and exit pages. Addressing these issues can enhance your website's overall performance and user experience.

5) Setting and tracking goals: Setting up analytics enables you to set specific goals for your website, such as increasing conversions or improving engagement. You can create custom metrics and track progress towards these goals over time. This helps you stay focused, measure your success, and adjust your strategies if necessary.
