Here are some ways that Errorlytics can help website owners…

Is Errorlytics right for my site?

If you have a 4 page website that hasn’t changed in years, and you have no plans to change it in the near future, the Errorlytics probably offers little to no benefit. However, if you manage a large and constantly updated corporate site, e-commerce store, media or content site, then Errorlytics can help decrease the amount of “bad” traffic – or traffic from humans or spiders that bounce off your 404 page and consequently help increase the number of beneficial visits that allow users to buy more, view more ads, or submit a lead.

Doing a major website upgrade?

In our time as website designers and developers we’ve seen too many companies work very hard and invest lots of money into a new website. They work hard for months on a fresh new design, a fancy new content management system, or the latest and greatest e-commerce platform. Then the big day comes and the new site goes live. In the following weeks traffic actually drops! Visits to the 404 page or “Page Not Found” error page skyrocket. Why!?

It would usually turn out that all of the pages of the old “boring” site were well indexed in Google. They didn’t realize before hand that they were actually bringing in quite a bit of traffic to the site. All those old pages were not correctly redirected with the coveted “search engine friendly” 301 redirect. Errorlytics makes the redirect creation process a breeze – either for individual pages or whole groups of content. No more trying to figure out regular expressions, and no need to write custom scripts. We’ve done the work for you. Just tell Errorlytics how you want to handle your errors in plain English and it does the rest.

Frustrated with an over-tasked and unresponsive tech team?

Maybe you are watching your analytics each week and see those 404s piling up. The lost opportunity makes you cringe! You’ve exported the list of 404s and sent them to your technical team be rectified several times, but between trying to keep everything running, and build great new stuff – they don’t have the time to deal with it.

With Errorlytics, there is a one-time script installation on your server, after that all error management can be put in the hands of a business analyst. No need to bother programmers with writing business logic. Errorlytics makes it easy.
