What it is and what it does
sphinxcontrib-googleanalytics is a Sphinx extension that automatically injects Google Analytics tracking code into HTML documentation generated by Sphinx. It requires only Sphinx as a runtime dependency and integrates via a simple configuration entry in conf.py, where you supply your Google Analytics tracking ID.
The extension is designed for documentation authors who want to monitor how their generated HTML docs are being accessed and used. It operates at build time, adding tracking instrumentation to the final HTML output without requiring manual edits to individual pages.
Use it for
- Track visitor traffic and engagement metrics for published Sphinx documentation sites.
- Monitor which documentation pages are most frequently accessed by users.
- Gather analytics on documentation usage to inform content prioritization and updates.
- Measure the reach and adoption of technical documentation across teams or projects.
