No Google Analytics, just Cloudflare & Google Search Console

Why? Because I expect LittleBigArtists to grow slowly over the next 2 years. For that to happen, I have to focus mostly on creating content.

Using Google Analytics (or GA4) in a small website is like killing flies with cannons:

• It affects load times.
• You have to deal with cookies and permissions.
• You waste time looking at vanity metrics.

Right now I just need to know:

1. If someone visits the site.
2. What keywords they are coming for.

And for that I just need the basic Cloudflare analytics and the information that Google Search Console gives me. More than enough.

There is no need for over-engineering to get started. Focus on the minimum that works for you.
