Traffic analytics

Read the Docs aggregates statistics about visits to your documentation. This is mainly information about how often pages are viewed, and which return a 404 Not Found error code.

Traffic analytics let you see which documents your users are reading. This allows you to understand how your documentation is being used, so you can focus on expanding and updating parts people are reading most.

To see a list of the top pages from the last month, go to the Admin tab of your project, and then click on Traffic analytics.

Enabling traffic analytics

Go to the new dashboard:
Click on a project name.
Go to Settings, then in the left bar, go to Addons.
Go to Analytics and check Analytics enabled.

Data storage

The duration of analytics data stored depends on which site you’re using:

On Read the Docs Community, the last 90 days are stored.
On Read the Docs for Business, storage duration starts at 30 days and increases with plan level.
