ROI Impact: 15-30% higher conversion rates from faster page loads

📊 2. Real-Time Analytics Ingestion

Traditional: Analytics data → Batch processing (hours) → Delayed insights
Redis Streams: Analytics data → Instant processing (<1ms) → Real-time optimization

ROI Impact: 300-500% faster campaign optimization and fraud prevention

📈 3. Live BI Platform Integration

Traditional: Static reports → Weekly meetings → Slow decisions
Redis-Powered: Live dashboards → Instant alerts → Immediate action

ROI Impact: Executive teams make decisions 1000x faster with real-time data

Google Analytics Data Interception & Enhancement

This system intercepts Google Analytics data before it reaches GA, enhances it with detailed user interaction data, then routes it to both your analytics database and Google Analytics.

How GA Interception Works

1. Data Capture First:

<!-- Load the GA interceptor BEFORE your GA code -->
<script src="/path/to/ga-interceptor.js"></script>

<!-- Your normal GA tracking code -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID');
</script>

2. Data Enhancement Process:

• Intercepts all gtag() calls, dataLayer.push(), and classic GA events
• Enhances GA data with detailed user interaction context:
  • Session engagement metrics
  • Scroll depth and interaction levels
  • Mouse activity and click patterns
  • Focus time and idle periods
  • Device and viewport information
• Routes enhanced data to both your system and Google Analytics

3. Enhanced GA Events:

// Original GA event
gtag('event', 'page_view', {
  page_title: 'Product Page',
  page_location: 'https://example.com/product'
});

// Gets enhanced with:
{
  // Original GA data
  page_title: 'Product Page',
  page_location: 'https://example.com/product',
  
  // Enhanced context
  session_id: 'uuid-session-id',
  time_on_page: 45000,
  scroll_depth: 75,
  page_engagement: 85,
  interaction_level: 12,
  mouse_distance: 2543,
  focus_time: 38000,
  device_type: 'desktop',
  viewport_width: 1920,
  viewport_height: 1080
}

SELECT url, SUM(views) as total_views, SUM(unique_users) as unique_visitors
FROM ux_pageviews_hourly 
WHERE hour_ts > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
GROUP BY url 
ORDER BY total_views DESC;

Notes

• Redis Streams are trimmed (~ 200k entries) in the tracker to avoid unbounded growth.
• The consumer uses a stream group (ux:grp) and acknowledges processed messages.
• nginx handles HTTP reverse proxy; for HTTPS/TLS, you'll need to configure SSL certificates and update the nginx config.
• Ensure DNS A/AAAA records point to this box for PRIMARY_HOST, SGTM_HOST, and TRACKER_HOST.
