## What it is
A JavaScript library that provides automatic and enhanced Google Analytics tracking for common user interactions like clicks, scrolling, and element visibility. It ships as a small plugin-based script built on analytics.js with declarative event tracking via HTML attributes.

## Use cases
- track user clicks and events on my website without writing custom analytics code
- measure how far users scroll down a page
- track when elements become visible in the viewport
- clean up inconsistent URL paths in Google Analytics reports
- track media queries and viewport breakpoints in analytics
- add declarative event tracking via HTML attributes

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy site still on analytics.js and need enhanced interaction tracking
- you want a small, plugin-based analytics.js enhancement with declarative event tracking

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the library is no longer actively maintained
- you use Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js) rather than the legacy analytics.js
- you need guaranteed bug fixes or security updates

- function: analytics, developer-tools
