This product is FREE and always will be! I do not have a stripe account nor will I bother even setting it up Now don't get me wrong google analytics is powerful no doubt but this is just a nice and clean alternative! Enjoy HF!
First step is adding the website. This essentially registers it on the system, and helps you generate your tracking code which is installed in the header of your website.
Two Tracking Modes There are two tracking modes, a lightweight mode, and a full mode. The lightweight mode utilizes a < 6 kB tracking script, And does not install any cookies or local storage. What that means is that you do not need to get user consent, and it is completely compliant with all major privacy regulations such as the CCPA and GDPR.
The full tracking mode allows you to access the big features such as session recording, individual user information, and more. Of course, you will need to collect consent to be compliant to most privacy regulations when using this (as is the case with Google Analytics and others).
Lite:
Advanced
Once you have installed the tracking code in your website (on WordPress you would do this by using something like advanced scripts and initializing the HTML snippet in your WP_head), you verify that it is installed, and you're good to go.
You actually get a bunch of helpful information like this screen resolution, browsers, operating system, and of course the pages that your visitors ended up on. This may seem trivial if you're coming from Google analytics, but unfortunately many of the other self hosted analytics alternatives out there are missing out on these basic features.
