What does the tracking script collect?

The BigRank tracking script is lightweight, cookieless and privacy-friendly. It records pageviews, unique visitors, referrers, UTM parameters, pages, countries, devices and browsers, and reports real-user Core Web Vitals.

Does it use cookies?
No. Unique visitors are counted with a daily-rotating salted hash and no cookies.
How large is the script?
Under 2 KB.
Which vitals does it report?
Real-user LCP, CLS and INP, measured with Google's open-source web-vitals library.
Can I use Cloudflare instead?
Yes. Connect Cloudflare with an API token to read traffic, page views, cache and security data.

What analytics covers

Numbers come from one small script on your pages, or from your Cloudflare account. Visitors are counted the same way every day, with a rotating hash instead of cookies, so ranges from 7 days to 12 months compare cleanly.

  • Tracking script

    Add one small script to your pages. Events are sent to an ingestion endpoint and batched for storage.

    • Under 2 KB
    • One snippet for every page
    • Also reports real-user vitals
  • Cookieless visitors

    Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating salted hash, so no cookies are set.

    • Unique visitors per day
    • Pageviews counted alongside
    • Privacy-friendly by design
  • Referrers and UTM

    See where visitors come from, including UTM parameters.

    • Referring sites and search engines
    • UTM source, medium and campaign
    • Sources compared by visitors
  • Top pages

    See which pages draw the most traffic and how visits move through the site.

    • Pageviews for each page
    • Where visits start
    • Where visits end
  • Countries and devices

    Break traffic down by where visitors are and what they use.

    • Countries from a free GeoIP database
    • Device type per visit
    • Browser per visit
  • Real-user vitals

    The same script reports LCP, CLS and INP from real visits, which lab tests can't show.

    • Google's open-source web-vitals library
    • INP from real interactions
    • Pairs with Lighthouse lab data
  • Cloudflare option

    Prefer not to install a script? Connect Cloudflare to see traffic, page views, cache and security performance.

    • Connect with an API token
    • Cloudflare GraphQL Analytics data
    • No script on your pages
  • Date ranges

    Pick 7 days, 30 days, 3 months or 12 months.

    • 7 days for launch weeks
    • 3 months for campaigns
    • 12 months for seasonality

Traffic without the baggage.

Without cookies, analytics stays simple and privacy-friendly, and you keep the numbers that guide decisions.

  • Daily-rotating salted hash
  • No cookies
  • Referrers and UTM parameters

Real users, not just lab tests.

Lab data tells you what a test run saw. Real-user vitals show LCP, CLS and INP from actual visitors, so you can see where it hurts.

  • LCP, CLS and INP
  • Measured with the web-vitals library
  • Complements Lighthouse results

Pick your data source.

Use the built-in script by default, or connect Cloudflare when your traffic already runs through it.

  • Cloudflare via API token
  • Views, cache and security data
  • Date ranges up to 12 months

From script to insight

Analytics pays off when it leads to a change: pick a range that matches the question, find the pages and sources that matter, and fix what real visitors struggle with.

  1. Add the script

    Paste the tracking script into your site, or connect Cloudflare.

  2. Collect data

    Pageviews and vitals start to appear after visits.

  3. Pick a range

    View 7 days, 30 days, 3 months or 12 months.

  4. Act on it

    Improve top pages and fix those with poor real-user vitals.

When teams use analytics

Web Analytics fits sites that want traffic numbers without cookies or a heavy script, and teams that want speed data from real visitors right next to those numbers.

  • Content performance

    See which pages attract visitors and where they come from.

  • Campaign tracking

    Use UTM parameters to compare sources.

  • Performance prioritization

    Find pages with poor real-user vitals and fix those first.

  • Privacy-led sites

    Measure traffic without cookies.

Humans, bots or searchers: who are you measuring?

Use Web Analytics for the people who visit your pages, AI & Bot Traffic for the crawlers that request them, and Search Console for the Google searches that led people there in the first place.

  • Web Analytics

    Count visitors, referrers, UTM campaigns, top pages, countries and devices with a cookieless script that also reports real-user LCP, CLS and INP.

  • AI & Bot Traffic

    Count the verified search bots and AI crawlers the script can't see, from Cloudflare data or server logs, with pages and status codes.

  • Search Console

    See which Google queries brought visitors, with clicks, impressions, CTR and position by query, page, country and device.

Keep going

Pair traffic with speed and search

Traffic shows where people go. Check the vitals of your busiest pages, see which queries brought visitors, and count the bots the script never sees.

Web Analytics FAQ

Where is data stored?

In our time-series database, with a move to a faster analytics database planned.

What does the Cloudflare option need?

Your Cloudflare API token.

Which date ranges are available?

7 days, 30 days, 3 months and 12 months.

Can I track campaigns?

Yes. UTM parameters on incoming links are recorded, so you can compare campaign sources.

What do I get without the script?

With the Cloudflare option you see traffic, page views, cache and security data. Real-user vitals need the script.
