# Add Google Analytics to a published Confluence site

To add Google Analytics to a Confluence site published with Capable Sites, open the site's **Settings**, choose **Integrations**, paste your GA4 measurement ID (it starts with `G-`) into **Google Analytics ID** and select **Save changes**. Then run Update and Promote. Every published page then sends page views to your Google Analytics property.

---

## Before you start

* You need to be a Confluence admin or a collaborator on the site.
* Find your measurement ID in Google Analytics under **Admin** \> **Data Streams**.
* The Google Analytics macro on a Confluence page does not run on a published site. Use this setting instead.

---

## Steps

1. Open Capable, choose **Sites**, open your site, and select **Settings**, then the **Integrations** card.
2. Under **Analytics**, paste your ID into **Google Analytics ID**, such as `G-XXXXXXXXXX`.
3. Optionally, turn on **Capable analytics integration** to see published page views in Capable's Google Analytics reports beside the same pages' views in Confluence.
4. If you need visitors' consent first, turn on **Cookie consent popup**.
5. Select **Save changes**.
6. On the site's **Overview**, select **Update**, wait for it to finish, then select **Promote**.
7. Open the live site and check your visit in the Google Analytics **Realtime** report.

## If it does not work

* **No visits show up.** The setting only reaches the live site after Update and Promote. Check you promoted after saving.
* **Some visitors are missing.** With the cookie banner on, Google Analytics waits for a visitor to allow Analytics. Visitors who reject it are not counted.
* **The site is protected.** Analytics still works for signed-in visitors. The sign-in page itself is not tracked.
