Analytics

Metrics are very important for your success and growth.

We use Umami. It is a simple, fast, and privacy-focused website analytics alternative to Google Analytics.

Its fully compliant with GDPR & CCPA regulations, so there is no need to show cookie banners.

It has a generous free tier  and, if you want, you can easily and in a few minuts host it for free using Vercel without any limitations, as explained below.

Self-hosting

While it’s quicker to use their free tier, you can also freely host Umami by yourself using Vercel and Neon if you want to. You can do it once and use it for all of your projects.

  1. Press the Deploy button on https://umami.is/docs/guides/running-on-vercel .
  2. Enter the new repository name (such as umami) and continue.
  3. When prompted for the DATABASE_URL, login in https://neon.tech , create a new project by setting its name (such as umami) and the preferred region. When it’s ready, you will be given an URL. Press Copy snippet to copy the URL with the hidden password. Paste it in the DATABASE_URL on Vercel and add this to the end of the URL: &pgbouncer=true&connect_timeout=10 and press Deploy.
  4. The deploy should succeed. Access its new dashboard and you will be presented its domain.
  5. Access it and login with the default username admin and the password umami.
  6. Access your profile in the top right of the page and change your password.
