Event Tracking

One of the improvements in Google Analytics 4 is the default tracking of events. This allows the website administrator to monitor what a visitor does when they access a page.

Due to the small amount of traffic that I currently witness on this website this metric is most use when accessing the Real-Time report.

Tracking outbound clicks

I have tried to do this in the past. Google had a method using urchinTracker (I need to look this up).

The method I tried was to send an email to myself when an outbound link was clicked. This resulted in a whole lotof spam when the PHP code was compromised by hackers.
