What it does
Spotting a traffic drop or an odd swing in conversions usually means opening reports and comparing numbers by hand, and problems can go unnoticed for days. This addon handles that watching for you. It monitors the metrics that matter for your site, using the Google Analytics data MonsterInsights already connects to, and flags sudden changes as they happen. You can set your own monitoring thresholds, so alerts match the size of fluctuation you actually care about.
Alerts arrive by email, as WordPress dashboard notifications or as site notes, and you can pick the channel that suits how you work. Every flagged event is also recorded in the Exceptions report, which gives you one place to look back at past anomalies, spot patterns and troubleshoot. It fits online stores, blogs and business sites, and since it supports multiple websites, agencies looking after several domains can use it across client sites.
Best for
- MonsterInsights users who want automatic alerts on metric changes
- Online stores and blogs watching traffic and conversions
- Agencies monitoring analytics across several client domains
