Google Analytics: How to track pages in a single page application?

Question

Currently in my website, I used HTML5\'s pushState() and popState in links to increase the speed. However, this doesn\'t really change the real URL and it

Answer 1

I know it's old question but since this question is first result in Google about tracking pushState() in Google Analytics and all answers are wrong I decided to answer it.

In other answers they mentioned to use directly ga('send' ..... ) but this is wrong way to do it.

First you have to 'set' parameters and then use 'send' to track it.

If you want to update only url, use following code

// set new url 
ga('set', 'page', '/new-page');

// send it for tracking
ga('send', 'pageview');

If you want to update url and title, add title parameter to it

// set new url and title
ga('set', {
  page: '/new-page',
  title: 'New Page'
});

// send it for tracking
ga('send', 'pageview');
