What analytics tools do you use? 👀 So far, I found Cloudflare Analytics to be the best.

    Nice list! One more to consider: Zenovay. Free tier, privacy-first, and goes beyond basic analytics. Includes AI-powered insights, heatmaps, session replay, conversion funnels, and uptime monitoring. It's still in beta so would love feedback from the IH community.

    Posthog and Signoz (Different use case but leaving if someone wants to check them out)

    I really like Umami.

    You can use their cloud service for free (up to 3 websites) or host it yourself (super easy to host).

    It allows multiple users, is GDPR compliant (no cookie banner) and let you set up events so you can see the user's flow.

      It's a bit slow for my taste. I use it to track my blog, but considering to move away and use plausible instead

    I'm using Cloudflare but I didn't know this powerful tip. Thanks for opening my eyes Kamil!

      I think, that Cloudflare and their services (Workers, KV, etc.) will be a good Firebase alternative in the future 🔥 They have very generous free tier options and their pricing is amazing.

    What do you think of Microsoft Clarity?

    Google Analytics seems to do the job for me just fine ;)

      The amount of data you get from GA is huge, but it could be a little better when it comes to privacy 😕

  9. 2

    It's a very limited but good onую Still, I wanted a little more features: custom events, conversions. If they finish it, it will be great.

    Data retention is only 1 month.

    Hello, but Cloudflare Web Analytics is not free. You have to have a pro plan on Cloudflare to activate it. :( :(

    1. 1

      Nope, check on account level, not in host menu

        Ohhh, it's true!

        Thank you very much, you just made me very happy!
