When getting familiarized with your own website or especially a website you haven’t worked with before, it’s often very useful to be able to see the performance of entire website sections or sub-sections. Like where does a lot of the traffic or conversions happen.
It would be nice to either have a “table” or “explorer”-report where each level is the next /path/-level. Currently you have to do specific searches or filterings for each section, without getting the birds-eye view.
This is the biggest feature I miss from old versions of Google Analytics (and which is why I’m now looking for an alternative). On our website expatden.com, we have a content for each country in a sub-folder (e.g. /thailand, /mexico, etc.). Very often we’d like to see how individual countries are doing in terms of traffic and conversions. Content drilldown was absolutely perfect for that.
Hi @KarHeadPeace,
From what you described I think our segments might be useful for your case. Please check following article: Group visitors into segments | Piwik PRO help center
Unfortunately this doesn’t provide the functionality I’m looking for. I can’t use segments as rows in custom reports and tables.
I would need to be able to output a table where each segment is listed in a row. Primary use would be to see at one glance how each segment has developed compared to the previous period. If I only had 2-3 segments, it wouldn’t be an issue. Problem is that I have more than 20 groups.
The closest I’ve come to creating this functionality is by using custom channel grouping. That gets me about 50% there. Main obstacle there is that there is a limit of 10 groups (why?), otherwise this would be good enough to replace the old Google Analytics content drill-down feature. It wouldn’t be quite as powerful, but ‘good enough’.
At my workplace, we’ve used custom dimensions for this to a depth of four levels. I.e. https://website.com/page_level_1/page_level_2/page_level_3/page_level_4/
The data is then shown in a custom report with aggregated metrics and can be navigated through nested dimensions.
