Settings
Choose the appearance of Page Analytics from the theme menu on any page. Other preferences live in Account settings, which you can open from the dashboard navigation or the extension's settings button.
Heatmap, quick-access, and keyboard settings save as soon as you pick a value. Your invoice details save when you select Save invoice details.
Appearance
Open the theme button in the page header or the extension header and choose:
- Light for a light interface.
- Dark for a dark interface.
- System to follow your device's appearance settings. This is the default, and it updates when your device changes between light and dark.
Your choice takes effect immediately, without reloading. It is saved in this browser and stays the same when you sign in, sign out, or switch accounts. Other browsers and devices have their own preferences.
The extension remembers its choice across the popup, sidebar, report tab, and heatmap window, including sign-in screens. When you open the Page Analytics website with the extension installed, the most recently changed theme choice applies to both. Opening the theme menu in a collapsed heatmap window expands the window so the menu fits.
Theme controls are also available on public pages and shared reports. Printing keeps the report's print appearance. The extension's title bars stay dark in either theme.
Heatmap visualization
These options control how click heatmaps render on your pages. See Heatmaps for what heatmaps show and how to read them.
Heatmap buckets
A heatmap groups clicks into color bands by intensity. The Heat Map Buckets slider sets how many bands to use, from 1 to 10. More buckets show finer gradations; fewer buckets give a simpler, higher-contrast view.
Color palette
Pick the color scheme used to draw heatmaps. Each option in the Color Palette menu shows a preview swatch of its colors, so you can choose one that reads well against your site's design and meets your accessibility needs.
Quick access buttons
Page Analytics adds buttons to the edge of your site for opening the sidebar and toggling heatmaps while you browse.
Button visibility
The Button Visibility menu decides where the buttons appear:
- Show on my website: display the buttons on your own connected sites.
- Hide completely: never show the buttons.
- Show on all websites: display the buttons on every site you visit.
Button position
The Button Position menu places the buttons along the right edge of the page:
- Top right
- Middle right
- Bottom right
Keyboard shortcuts
A single switch on the settings page turns the extension's keyboard shortcuts on or off. The panel also lists the active shortcuts for toggling the sidebar, toggling the heatmap, and closing the sidebar. For the full list, see Keyboard shortcuts.
Precise heatmaps
Follow Manage precise heatmap settings to choose which connected websites use the link_click events from your Google Tag Manager setup. Each website has its own setting, even when several websites report to the same GA4 property.
Under Match clicks to links by, choose Destination URL to combine same-destination links or HTML ID to give links with stable IDs their own counts. Links without IDs remain grouped by destination. If a website uses several analytics scopes, its precise heatmap settings apply to every scope.
Saving a setting does not confirm that the GTM tag is published or that events are arriving in GA4. See Set up precise heatmaps with Google Tag Manager for the complete setup.
MCP server
Page Analytics provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex read your Google Analytics and Search Console data. From the settings page, follow Manage API keys and setup instructions to create, activate, deactivate, and delete API keys and to copy the setup snippet for your tool.
For the full walkthrough, see MCP keys.
Billing
Save the name or company name and postal address that should appear on your invoices. You can also add an optional note for information such as a purchase order or company registration number. The currently saved name, address, and note apply whenever you download an invoice, including invoices from earlier subscription periods.
For plans, renewal charges, cancellation, and refunds, see Billing and invoices.
Lemon Squeezy, the payment provider, manages your VAT number separately. Add it when you first pay. For a subscription, use Manage it in Lemon Squeezy in the Billing section before your next renewal. Changes apply to future payments and invoices. The VAT number on an existing invoice cannot be changed. You can also open the Lemon Squeezy billing portal directly.
Keep Send invoices by email on to receive each new invoice as a PDF attachment at your Page Analytics account email. If you have not saved an invoice name and address, each successful payment email links back to this section so you can add them and download the invoice. Turn the switch off if you prefer to download invoices yourself. This preference controls invoice and billing-detail emails separately from product-update emails.
Invoice history includes invoices from current and previous subscriptions. Use Download to generate a PDF with your currently saved name, address, and optional note.
Account
The top of the settings page shows your Google account: avatar, display name, and email. Page Analytics signs you in with Google, so there is no separate password to manage here.
Delete your account
The Danger Zone at the bottom of the page lets you permanently delete your account. Click Delete Account, then type your email address to confirm.
