Analytics - Built-In Tracking, Google Analytics, and Visitor Feedback
CARL includes built-in visitor tracking that records pageviews, sessions, referrer sources, device data, and time on page directly on your server, with no third-party service required. For setups that need more advanced reporting, GA4 integrates cleanly through a single include file and runs alongside the built-in system without conflict.
The feedback system adds a separate layer: visitor reactions on individual pages, collected in real time and summarized in your admin dashboard. Together, these tools give you a clear picture of how your content is performing and how your audience is responding to it.
