Cloudflare’s privacy-first Web Analytics is now available for everyone

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced a new free Web Analytics tool that can be deployed by adding an HTML snippet to your website, making it easier for users to understand visitor behavior without compromising user privacy. The analytics service is designed to provide essential web analytics to everyone with a website, offering features such as page views, visits, top pages, countries, device types and referrers. It also supports global filters, zooming in on specific time periods, group by actions, and more. Unlike popular analytics vendors that track visitor behavior for ad revenue, Cloudflare's mission is to help build a better internet without compromising user privacy. The company plans to integrate the Web Analytics tool more closely with its other services and enhance it as a standalone product in the future.
