If you are interested in tracking Grow performance on your site, we have settings available that allow you to see certain events in your Google analytics (GA4) dashboard.
Tracking Grow Events in GA4
Note: You will need to be running Google Analytics 4 (GA4) on your site to see these events.
It's also important to remember that event reporting in GA4 is delayed.
In your GA4 dashboard, go to Reports > Engagement > Events and Grow will show up as an event once people start using it (events can also be found in GA4 under the Realtime Overview):
Favorites
favorite - This counts how many times someone clicks the heart button on the main widget.
Recommended Content
recs_in_content_click - This counts how many times a reader clicks one of the links via the inline recommended content widget.
recs_scroll_carousel_click - This counts how many times a reader clicks one of the links via the header carousel.
recs_sidebar_click - This happens when one of the sidebar recommended items is clicked.
recs_whats_next_click - This is when someone clicks on the What's Next recommended content link.
Widget
render - This event fires when Grow loads on a page.
Search
