  • The best analytics!

    I switched from Fathom to Simple Analytics and I don't want to go back! It has a really nice dashboard with deep insights and is easy to integrate. I also like their event funnel feature

  • Love this analytics and the straightforward WordPress integration it offers! ;)

    I first started using Simple Analytics in ~2020, and couldn't look back after that. I love the ability to set a custom domain which allows us to bypass browser extensions that block analytics to get even more data and insights. Also, appreciating how convenient and straightforward the WordPress integration is.

  • Perfect

    Removed the need to have 2 theme versions (one for the users and one for demos) or to build my own plugin. Thanks! :)
