    Here's some advice.

    Drop Google Analytics now and deploy something that will give you much more granular data about your website's processes.
    GA is far too high level to do anything for you.

    Don't rely on scripts. Either server-side logs or server taps.

    • depends on how you configure your system Server logs are used by plenty of decent analytics groups.
