If you have a page with some different of elements on it
like

  • some images with lightbox
  • a video
  • elements which can be unfolded
  • etc.

The usage of these elements could be tracked via Custom Events
see #472

To make your website better it would be not only interesting which elements/functions are used, but on the other site:
which elements/functions are never or only very rarely used.

This may have several reasons:

  • they are not visible to the user (design problem)
  • there could be a technical problem (technical problem: maybe only in some browsers)
  • no one needs them (content problem)
    ...

To find these elements it would be very helpful to have the possibility to find & show them in an automatic way via "Invers Custom Event tracking"

one way may be

  • a possibility to mark elements (their events) as "being watched because they should be used"
  • to call all events of this marked group per page to say "hello - I do exist" to piwik (some kind of crawler)
  • compare these events with the statistics piwik have from the Custom event tracking
  • show a list per page with the events never or only rarely used (maybe with a customizable filter..)

What do you think?

of course a possibility to find bad pages should be first...
(even if issue was opened later..)

could e.g. be part of a new plugin which provides a new menu point: "Find the bad"
which contains the functions:
"Inverse" page tracking - to find bad pages #10519
"Inverse" Custom Event tracking - to find bad elements/functions #5186
"Inverse" Content tracking - to find bad pieces of content #10520
