    404 Tracking in Analytics

    This is probably one of those easy fixes from a dev perspective but we need to track 404's and with the way umbraco deals with 404's (internally) it doesn't display a URL that can be used to track in analytics.

    Is there a way to add GA event tracking to all 404's within Umbraco, if so how and is dev effort required to implement.

    Really appreciate the help.

    I was already tracking page views in my master template but your post you post made me revisit this.

    In my template after already initializing ga I added this. This assumes that you already have a 404 page configured in \config\umbracoSettings.config.

        @if (Context.Response.StatusCode == 200)
{
<script type="text/javascript">
    ga('send', 'pageview',
    {
        title: '@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(title).Replace("'", "\\'"))'
    });
</script>
}
else if (Context.Response.StatusCode == 404)
{
<script type="text/javascript">
    ga('send', 'event', 'Page Not Found', '@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Request.RawUrl).Replace("'", "\\'"))');
</script>    
}
else if (Context.Response.StatusCode == 500)
{
<script type="text/javascript">
    ga('send', 'event', 'Error', '@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(title).Replace("'", "\\'"))');
</script>
}

    I assume you want to track those url's to fix the broken link issues. You might want to check-out SEOChecker for that http://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker

    Best,
