Key capabilities

Tinylytics tracks page views, unique visitors (probabilistically), referrers, countries, browsers, and user journeys without cookies or personal data. Custom filtering by date, path, country, or referrer helps users drill into specifics. Full API access and CSV exports provide flexibility for further analysis. This setup delivers accurate insights while maintaining visitor anonymity and GDPR compliance.

The platform checks site availability, SSL validity, and domain status around the clock, sending detailed email alerts for downtime or expirations. Content monitoring crawls pages daily to detect broken links or mixed content issues, notifying users before problems affect visitors. These tools help maintain site reliability without separate services.

Opt-in analysis reviews traffic trends, content performance, and offers recommendations via the dashboard. Weekly email reports deliver concise performance summaries. Features like kudos buttons, hit counters, public stats pages (with passcode option), and webrings add engagement. Plus plan users get webhooks and multiple email recipients for team use.
