更改Drupal 6网站的URL别名是否会影响Google Analytics统计信息？

Question

If I change the URL aliases for a Drupal 6 site, will Google Analytics data be affected?

For instance, if node A is changed from http://www.example.com/path-a to http://www.example.com/path-b , will GA Page Views data be reset?

Is GA intelligent enough to treat these pages as one and the same or will I need to set up a redirect?

Answer 1

Google Analytics data does not adjust itself retroactively, and is blind to "true" configuration settings.

If you send a URL as /path-a , and then change it to /path-b , Google Analytics will assume that they are totally separate URLs.

Answer 2

GA will take these 2 paths as 2 pages. However when you change paths, always try to add a redirect. Page redirect module(D6. Redirects in D7) can add redirects automatically when path-auto pattern changes.
