Component Analytics is all about templates

To implement Component Analytics, it’s easiest the more repeatable structure you have.

It doesn’t matter how many pages you have, as long as they reuse the same set of templates.

In this instance, templates are reusable structures of layout code that

Templates come in many forms. Two prominent examples are:

  • CMS templates: A lot of CMSs allow you to create templates of reusable patterns. Naming and tagging these as modules makes for good Component Analytics.
  • Component Libraries: Component Libraries are made to be reused. All components are templates and thereby easy to tag.

Component Analytics bottom-up approach means using this repeatability to your advantage.

By tying your tagging to the templates, you can tag a template once and all interactions inside are reported.
