Google Analytics
Google Analytics can give you valuable insights into a site’s traffic, user behavior, and conversion rates.
Connect Google Analytics to a site
Go to the Refined Administration.
Click Sites in the left-hand menu.
Select the site.
Go to the Configuration tab.
In the General section, click the Edit general settings button.
Add your Google Analytics tracking ID.
Google Tag Manager
To add Google Tag Manager to a Refined site, insert the script in the beginning of BODY in custom HTML.
Sitemaps
A sitemap is a file that lists the pages on your site. Submitting the sitemap to search engines helps them crawl and index your site.
You can only generate a sitemap for a public site. It includes all pages on your site that are available to anonymous users. When you have created a sitemap for a public site and later switch the access permissions to private or support, the sitemap is no longer accessible. The site is then no longer crawled by search engines.
Generate or refresh a sitemap
Go to the Refined Administration.
Click Sites in the left-hand menu.
Select the site.
Click the Configuration tab.
Scroll down to the Sitemap section.
If you have never created a sitemap before, click the Generate sitemap button. Your sitemap is now available at (subdomain).(domain.com)/sitemap.xml, ready for you to submit it at the search engine(s) of your choice.
It can take between a few days and a few weeks for a search engine to index a site. Go to Google’s documentation to learn more about their process.
The sitemap reflects your site’s structure at the moment when the sitemap was created. If you add new pages to your site, the sitemap won't update automatically. To update it, click the Refresh sitemap button. The sitemap’s URL will stay the same. Don’t forget to resubmit the sitemap to the search engine(s) of your choice.
