Say Hello to Shack Analytics, the Newest Extension at Joomlashack
- Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge

We're delighted to release Shack Analytics for Joomlashack users.
Shack Analytics is a single extension to manage all the analytics code on your sites.
Joomla site owners often have scripts such as Google Analytics, Adwords, Clicky, Facebook, MailChimp, and other sites. But those scripts are always hidden away inside random modules, plugins or template files.
Shack Analytics allows you to see all your analytics on a single screen. This is the same philosophy that inspired OSMeta. We want to make life easier for you by gathering everything in one easy-to-find location.
Shack Analytics makes it easy to assign analytics to your whole site, but you can also choose specific pages or menu links. This means that Shack Analytics is excellent for targeting specific landing pages or "Thank You" screens.
