# Introduction {#introduction}

TYPO3 Analytics is a web analytics service built for TYPO3. This extension
integrates it directly into the TYPO3 backend, so editors and administrators
can access analytics data without switching to a separate tool.

> [!NOTE]
> After the free trial period, a paid subscription is required. Available
> plans and pricing are shown directly in the backend module and at
> [analytics.typo3.com](https://analytics.typo3.com).

## What the extension provides {#what-the-extension-provides}

The extension adds a **Sites → Analytics** module to the TYPO3 backend.
For each configured TYPO3 site it provides:

-   ****Registration****

    Enter an e-mail address to register the site with the TYPO3 Analytics API.
    The tracking code is then automatically injected into every frontend page.

-   ****Status display****

    Shows the current registration status, website ID and API key.
    The status is cached and can be refreshed manually.

-   ****Dashboard****

    Opens the TYPO3 Analytics dashboard as an embedded iframe inside the
    TYPO3 backend.

-   ****Dashboard widgets****

    Four widget types for the TYPO3 dashboard — Traffic Graph, Site
    Performance, Top Pages, and Traffic Sources — give editors an at-a-glance
    view of their site's analytics directly on the dashboard.

-   ****Page Performance Bar****

    An analytics bar above the page layout in the **Page** module shows
    per-page metrics such as page views, bounce rate, and average time on page.
