I just enabled Cloudflare web analytics on my site rather than try to figure out Google's new thing. All I care about is tracking visit trends and referrers, and that's actually way easier in Cloudflare's UI so I'm happy.
One nice thing about it is that there are some pages on my site that I never bothered to add Google Analytics to, but Cloudflare adds their tracker automatically to every page. It couldn't be easier, which is great as analytics is not something I want to spend any time on.
- urda 3y agoI think I will be checking out Cloudflare too since I'm unhappy with GA and I am not eager to run my own analytics platform. ... but if I wanted to run my own platform I wonder what other people are using.
- carlosjobim 3y agoMy experience with cloudflare is that it counts every bot as a visitor, so Facebook pinging your site 5000 times in a day shows as 5000 United States visitors - not so useful to analyze. Is it different nowadays?
- modeless 3y agoThis is their web analytics product which is different from their server side statistics. I'm not sure which one you're talking about.
- carlosjobim 3y agoThen I was probably remembering the server side statistics.
