Register the website on Google Analytics.

Get your tracking ID, go to config.php and add your ID under the services key.

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'services' => [
        'analytics' => 'UA-XXXXX-Y',
    ],
    // ...
];

You can set your tracking ID to an empty string if you want to disable analytics without completely removing the related code.

'analytics' => '',

The master template is designed to only include analytics in production. This is to avoid tracking page views while you are developing the site.
