Google Analytics: what is and isn't supported

Google Analytics 4 is optional: paste your own measurement ID on the build form or the Edit screen and every page loads Google's tag, and on sites that show a cookie banner it loads only after the visitor accepts. With or without it, page views and conversions are also counted on the server, and that counting adds no JavaScript and no cookies to your site.

One optional measurement ID, nothing else

There is one field for a GA4 measurement ID, and no tag manager slot or custom script field beside it. Leave that field blank and published pages carry no third-party analytics code of any kind.

The built-in numbers do not depend on that tag. We serve your pages, so we can count what we served. That removes a whole class of problems where a browser tag is blocked, or deferred, or never fires while the numbers quietly drift.

It also means the built-in numbers have no consent state to reason about. That counting collects nothing that would need permission, so nothing is lost there when permission is withheld.

What you can see instead

The Analytics page shows how many microsites you have generated, published and edited over time. It shows page views on your live sites, leads captured per site, and the conversion rate between them. Filter to a single site, or to a 7, 30 or 90 day window.

A view is counted when a real page load is served, and requests for images, styles and scripts are not counted. Views are totals, not journeys attached to a person.

What Google Analytics would tell you that this does not

The honest version of this page lists the losses too, so here they are.

Why the trade holds up

Leave the measurement ID blank and you get back a page with nothing third-party on it. It is lighter, the built-in counting creates no consent banner duty for you, and there is no data deal to explain to your own customers.

You also keep the page's structure exactly as written. A microsite is individually built to answer a question. The capsule at the top is written so an answer engine could quote it alone — meaning the AI answers in ChatGPT and Google. Every version clears the compliance gate before publishing.

And the decision that matters stays in front of you. Which pages get read, which sites capture inquiries, and which need rewriting to be genuinely useful. Views, leads and the rate between them answer that, with no borrowed JavaScript.

Frequently asked questions

Can I connect Google Analytics to my microsite?

Yes. Add your GA4 measurement ID on the build form or the Edit screen. On sites that show a cookie banner the tag loads only after a visitor accepts, and the built-in analytics screen keeps working alongside it.

Is there a field for a GA4 measurement ID?

Yes. Paste your GA4 measurement ID on the build form or the Edit screen and every page loads it; on sites that show a cookie banner it loads only after a visitor accepts.

How are page views counted?

They are counted on the server when a real page load is served, and asset requests are not counted as views.

Can I see conversion rate per site?

Yes. The Analytics page shows leads divided by page views for each site and for your account, over the range you pick.
