Track Everything makes event tracking simple. By default the plugin tracks form submissions, external links and emails. However, you can customize it to track nearly any common event using CSS selectors.
The plugin allows users to label events or completely customize events’ <code>Category</code>, <code>Action</code> , and <code>Label</code> <a href="https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide#Anatomy" rel="nofollow ugc">as allowed by Analytics</a>.
By using Google Analytics Event Tracking you can get a more detailed view of what users do on your site and track beyond what Google Analytics offers by default.
WordPress Track Everything acts as a simple interface for <a href="https://github.com/nquinlan/jquery-track-everything" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery Track Everything</a>, allowing anyone to easily track events on their WordPress website.
