Statistics and Analytics

The list of quizzes visible in the administration panel provides the following information:

• Number of views - each time a reader visits the quiz tab, it counts as +1 view.
• Number of completed quizzes
• Average score - the system adds up the percentage scores of individual readers.

Important!

• In each new template, you can activate advertising widgets or other thematic widgets.
• Traffic Tip: Switching between quiz questions will reload the tab in the browser, which will lead to an increase in the number of page views of the website on a monthly basis.
