This is so true. You can maneuver within client expectations, and you certainly can optimize every particular features but marketing tools are often non-negotiable.
From the user's stand point - they are pure overhead, too. For my own project, I decided to ditch them completely. Including the analytics. Well, it would have been nice seeing all the nice plots but at the end of the day they just show vanity metrics. The real impact is immeasurable.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoThere should be analytics solutions that don't put the burden on the client, server-side products. Or lightweight ones that mainly track button clicks and navigation, instead of e.g. recording all mouse and keyboard interactions. I want to think basic analytics has a very low impact on performance. Ads, on the other hand... Which all inject their own analytics as well.
- Moru 7y agoThere are analytic tools that run on the log files. If that is to high load on the server I'm sure they can be run offline by downloading the logs to your local machine.
