Clean, private, and doesn't impact page load speed.
There is something so satisfying about having a website that doesn't load any third-party trackers or require consent to share my visitor's data. With Fathom Analytics, I don't have to invade anyone's privacy or break any privacy laws just to get real-time stats on my site traffic. Plus, it loads so fast it doesn't impact page load speeds. Want to slow your site down? Install Google Analytics. Want to get to know your website visitors without spying on them? Use Fathom Analytics.
