How To Find Page Views in Google Analytics

Which are the best performing pages and posts on your website? How to find page views in Google Analytics? Here’s a quick, simple guide:

Login to your Google Analytics account and select the website you want to find the page views for.
Navigate to Behaviour > All Pages from the menu on the left hand side.
Decide whether you want to see All Pages or just the Landing Pages.
Filter the information to show the page within a date range and for a particular segment such as your Organic SEO traffic.
Further filter your view to see which pages were selected during the user journey (optional).

Not only can you find the page views in Google Analytics but you can furthermore filter the data to reveal some pretty interesting things (including which SEO keywords are driving traffic), where your sales are coming from and more.

Website Not Showing in Google Search?

Not Ranking in the Google Top 100?

If you have published a post or a page which is targeted toward particular keywords and you are tracking it, you should be able to see it fall into the top 100 Google results within at most a few weeks. If this is not the case then there could be a number of reasons but here’s some advice.

domain.com

Sometimes developers have this on when they are developing a site and accidentally leave it on. The same applies to pages and posts, double check you haven’t set them to noindex.

As you do this make sure you add your URL to them, they are NOFOLLOW links but Google still crawls them (it just doesn’t pass link equity).You can also install a video sitemap xml plugin and submit this to

WordPress Plugins That Speed Your Website UP

Introduction

Personally I’m not a huge fan of relying upon plugins to speed a website up but they do have their uses and of course they are generally more convenient to use.

So here’s a run down of a few of the plugins that I like to use when facing the optimisation of a WordPress site.

GZip Ninja speed compression

GZip Ninja Speed Compression

GZip Ninja speed compression is a great plugin which compliments W3 Total Cache nicely.

I have optimised hundreds of websites over the years and they all react differently to optimisation plugins. I normally begin with w3 Total Cache but on this occasion (during my tutorial) my client’s website did not respond very well to the built in browser compression element of the W3 plugin, enter the GZip.

Here are a couple of before and after screen grabs from Google Page Speed Insights:

Leverage Browser Caching Ninja

I put this plugin on because the total cache plugin in this instance did not improve our score on tools.pingdom.com

Here is a screenshot AFTER I installed the “Leverage Browser Caching Ninja” plugin:

You can see that the browser caching issue has gone away, however it has affected “Remove query strings from static resources” negatively.

I can also see that Google Page Insights is showing:
