Google Analytics for Confluence (by Capable) connects your Confluence Cloud site to your own Google Analytics 4 property, then shows the resulting traffic data back inside Confluence.

Tracking is site-wide and invisible: a hidden background script loads Google's own gtag.js in every reader's browser and records page views.

Logged-out readers of public pages are tracked too (recorded as "anonymous"). Optionally, the app also sends server-side events for searches, comments, page creates and edits, and reactions, which needs a Measurement Protocol API secret.

You read the data back through a site-wide reports page in the Apps menu, a reports page in every space, Page analytics in each page's menu, a summary card on the Confluence home page, and a Google Analytics macro you can drop onto any page. By default only Confluence admins can see the figures.
