SPA Navigation Tracking
Jamdesk counts each client-side navigation as a separate page view, even without a full page reload. This covers:
- Internal links within your documentation
- Browser back/forward navigation
- Programmatic navigation
Data Retention
Raw events are kept for 90 days. Each day's events are rolled up into daily totals. The totals are kept after the raw events are deleted.
Comparing Periods
The dashboard compares your selected period to the previous period of the same length:
- Last 7 days compares to the 7 days before that
- Last 30 days compares to the 30 days before that
Percentage change badges:
- Green badge for increases
- Red badge for decreases
Use the comparison to spot trends after you change your documentation.
Best Practices
Keep your most-viewed pages accurate and easy to navigate.
Give pages that get search traffic enough context and clear next steps.
If much of your traffic is mobile, test your docs on mobile devices.
Check referrer data to see which channels send the most traffic.
