Being found, and measuring
Who visited the site
Counted by us, with no third-party script and no estimates.
The “Analytics” screen shows how many visits there were, to which pages, from which country, what they arrived from and on which device. You can pick today, yesterday, 7, 30 or 90 days, or a date range of your own.
Every figure is counted in the database over the window you chose. There is no sampling, no estimate and no sample data — an app nobody has visited says so.
On the site right now
The screen shows how many people are on the site at this moment, and refreshes itself every minute for as long as it stays open.
What is kept, and what is not
- One cookie, on your site only, for half an hour, random — its whole job is to tell two views by one person apart from two views by two people. It carries no name and no account.
- A country is stored only when the infrastructure reports it. There is no guess-the-country-from-the-IP table here.
- A referrer is recorded only when it is genuinely external — moving between pages on your own site is not a “source”.
- Crawlers and bots are not counted. Counting them inflates every figure, which amounts to making it up.
No third-party script reaches a built site. The measurement leaves the site itself and arrives at us and nowhere else.
