Web analytics has been used to track visitor behavior on web sites since the early 1990s with the goal to understand the visitors and to constantly improve the web site. Although it is also possible to track users of single page applications, a special form of web application that behaves like a desktop application, there are some limitations. The aim of this work is to identify gaps in web analytics solutions regarding single page applications. Subsequently the impact of resolving such a gap on the intended long-term usage of a given web analytics system, the socalled Continuance Intention, is evaluated. Initially, an integration of an open-source web analytics framework with a commercial single page application is performed. Based on the gained experience and by conducting a literature research, a list of 13 gaps including potential solutions is identified. A group of experts is ranking them according to their impact on the usefulness of the web analytics solution. The resulting top item is the custom metrics feature, which allows to track application-specific metrics by configuring them generically in the web analytics system. It is subsequently developed and evaluated by means of an online survey using an adapted version of the Expectation-Confirmation Model. A linear regression model is based on the two resulting latent factors Perceived Usefulness and Continuance Intention. The statistical analysis of the model shows that a specific improvement of a web analytics solution with the goal to enhance the usefulness of this information system increases the intention to keep using this software in the long-term.
