In Google Analytics, from the dashboard, clicking 'Content' in the left hand pane, and then clicking 'In-Page Analytics' brings up an awesome interface for seeing where users have actually clicked in the site. However, it seems to only bring up the root page. From there, I can navigate to other pages by clicking on the links myself, but I can't figure out how to display In-Page analytics for a page that I can't navigate to just by clicking, for example /products/red-shoes.

So, how do I change the url for which in-page analytics are being displayed? Hopefully there's just something simple I am missing.

    Maybe not an answer, but maybe a solution. I find that if I turn on in-page analytics and then in another Chrome tab I navigate to a page on our site the analytics appear automatically. Mostly this is a pain, but it may be what you want.

    Paul, I'm a little confused. You open a new tab, and by navigating in it, the in-page analytics tab navigates with you? Do you have a plugin for that? It doesn't seem technically possible. I just tried, and did not get those results.

  • I don't have a plugin. I agree that it doesn't seem possible, but it does happen! If it doesn't happen for you (are you using Chrome by the way?) then it's not a solution. Sorry I can't help.

    I would try Paul's suggestion as i have experienced the same "issue" / solution. Its a pain when you don't want it but should help with the above. (no plugin required and works in firefox)

Paul is right, once you are in the report you can browse to other pages through a seperate tab and wait for in-page analytics to load.

yes it worked for me - I had analytics already on in-page diagnostics, then in a new window I opened my website and it immediately brought in analytics on the page and I could navigate through the website looking at the analytics !
