Efficiently track every CTA/link in GA

[bretthayes]

What: Instead of adding data attributes to every link/CTA, create a hook with an event listener and some conditions to track every link/CTA click event in GA.

Why:

• To reduce the amount of markup
• To reduce the amount of manual labour
• To track literally every link element/CTA by categorizing events under specific conditions:
  • Add data-category on parent elements for location categories
  • Check children element types and class names for button styles
• To be more efficient and accurate with CTA tracking
