Using statistics modules on Joomla involves the following technical steps:
1. Installing the Statistics module: Log in to the Joomla administrator panel, navigate to the Extension Manager, and click on the “Install” tab. Choose the statistics module you want to use and upload the installation package. Once the installation is complete, activate the module.
1. Configuring the Statistics module: Go to the Module Manager and locate the Statistics module you just installed. Click on the module name to open the configuration options. Choose the type of statistics you want to display, such as page views or unique visitors, and set any other relevant options.
1. Publishing the Statistics module: Decide on the location where you want to display the statistics module on your website, such as in a sidebar or at the bottom of your pages. Choose the appropriate module position and make sure the module is set to “published” status.
1. Tracking website activity: To get accurate statistics, you need to track website activity using a third-party analytics tool or an extension like Google Analytics. Copy the tracking code provided by the tool and paste it into the appropriate field in the Statistics module settings.
1. Analyzing the data: Once your statistics module is set up and tracking data, you can analyze the information to gain insight into how users interact with your site. Use the tool’s reporting and analysis features to identify trends, track goals, and make data-driven decisions about your website.
