+# Setting up site analytics
+
+As with any other service that is offered on the web, understanding how your
+documentation is actually used can be an essential success factor. While
+Material for MkDocs natively integrates with [Google Analytics][1], other 
+analytics services can be used, too.
+
+  [1]: https://developers.google.com/analytics
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Site analytics
+
+[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] · :octicons-milestone-24: Default: _none_
+
+After heading over to your [Google Analytics][1] account to [create a new
+property][3] in order to obtain a new tracking id of the form `UA-XXXXXXXX-X`,
+add it to `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+google_analytics:
+  - UA-XXXXXXXX-X
+  - auto
+```
+
+Publish and refresh your site, and you should see events bubbling up.

+
+### Site search analytics
+
+Besides basic page views, _site search_ can also be tracked to better understand
+how people use your documentation and what they expect to find. To enable
+search tracking:
+
+1. Go to your Google Analytics __admin settings__
+2. Select the property for the respective tracking code
+3. Go to the __view settings__ tab.
+4. Scroll down and enable __site search settings__
+5. Set the __query parameter__ to `q`.
+
+## Customization

+### Other analytics services

+
+In order to integrate another analytics service provider offering an
+asynchronous JavaScript-based tracking solution, you can [extend the theme][4]
+and [override the `analytics` block][5].

+
+If you're using [instant loading][6], you can use the `DOMContentSwitch` event
+to listen for navigation events and register a page view event with:
+
+``` js
+document.addEventListener("DOMContentSwitch", function() {
+  /* Register page event here */
+})
+```
