Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-15189:
----------------------------------------------
Google Analytics is a lot more than what INFRA provides, though that's useful
too. It can do breakdown reports, such as referrers to specific pages, etc.
This would allow figuring out if somebody refers to old pages and try to fix
things. I wish we had Google Analytics on RefGuide as well, for the same
reasons.
But that's only useful if somebody actually has access to Google Analytics and
does something with it. I work a tiny bit with GA, would be happy to have a
look at the account and produce a couple of reports (maybe shared to committers
or PMC only). Then, we can decide whether it is worth keeping it.
There are also non GA ways to track analytics, e.g. [https://matomo.org/] which
is free on premise. But that needs INFRA to own it.

> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major

> On lucene.apache.org we use Google Analytics tracking
> {quote}GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID = 'UA-94576-12'
> {quote}
> I think the reason was so that we could estimate downloads from mirrors, by
> counting number of clicks on the links from download pages. But are anyone
> ever looking at or publishing those numbers?
> The ASF wants projects to stop using 3rd party tracking of users and instead
> ask INFRA for aggregated stats for the page. WDYT? Should we
> # Remove trackers from both sites and rely on stats from infra
> # Continue using Google analytics, but have someone actually publish numbers
> from it every month?
> # Use some other way of counting downloads?
> h2. What do we get without a tracker?
> INFRA provides anonymous page view stats here
> [https://uls.apache.org/exports/lucene.apache.org.yaml] which gives some
> insight. But not downloads specifically. We see 12k visits to Solr downloads
> page last months, but we don't know how many of those clicked...
