The "Custom Domain" screen in SimplifyAnalytics is a vital function for users who wish to integrate the platform's analytics capabilities with their own branded domain. This feature enhances the professional appearance of analytics tracking URLs and ensures that data collection is aligned with the user's domain structure. By customizing how the analytics platform interacts with their website, users can maintain a consistent brand experience and take full control over the tracking and redirection behavior associated with their domain.
Connecting a Custom Domain
