Spike: Collect and Utilize Analytics Data for React Magma Documentation Site

[moathabuhamad-cengage]

Objective :

1. Evaluate Analytics Tools: Determine which analytics tools (e.g.,Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Plausible Algolia, MS Clarity) are most suitable for tracking user behavior and engagement on the documentation site.
2. Identify Metrics: Identify the most useful metrics for understanding user interaction, such as search terms, clicks, page views, and feedback.
3. Assess Technical Feasibility: Investigate how these tools can be integrated into the existing documentation site and any potential implementation challenges.
4. Provide Insights for Improvements: Gather insights on user behavior that will inform future decisions on documentation content updates, navigation improvements, and user experience enhancements.

The following table provides an overview of the key metrics we might be interested in tracking
