Frequently asked questions

Does Fast Web Tracking use cookies, and do I need to ask for consent?

Fast Web Tracking sets no cookies and stores nothing in your visitor's browser. There are no visitor or session identifiers and no fingerprinting. It is designed with GDPR and ePrivacy in mind; because there are no cookies or identifiers, there is nothing to consent to storing. Whether your website needs a notice remains your own assessment, also because of the other tools your website may use.

Why are there no unique visitors, sessions or bounce rate?

Counting unique visitors or sessions means recognising the same person across page views, with a cookie, an identifier or a fingerprint. Fast Web Tracking deliberately does none of that and stores counters only. You get page views, entry pages, navigation between pages, sources, events and engagement, but no unique-visitor, returning-visitor, session or bounce-rate numbers.

Will the script slow my website down?

The script is about 4 KB (about 2 KB compressed) and is loaded with defer, so the browser does not wait for it while it builds your page.

What does Fast Web Tracking cost?

The Free plan costs €0 and covers 1 website, 10,000 pageviews per month and 6 months of history. Starter is €5 per month for 5 websites, 100,000 pageviews per month and 2 years of history. Business is €19 per month for unlimited websites, 1,000,000 pageviews per month and 5 years of history. Paid plans can add 100,000 pageviews for €3 per month, as often as needed. Prices exclude VAT, yearly billing gives 10% off, and every feature is in every plan.

What happens if I go over my monthly pageviews?

Counting never stops. Your reports stay open up to 10% over your monthly pageviews. Above that they are locked until you upgrade, add extra pageviews or the next month starts.

Does it work with single-page apps?

Yes. Single-page apps are followed automatically, with the same one-line snippet.

How do I keep my own visits out of the numbers?

Add data-allow-ignore to the snippet, then run localStorage.fwt_ignore = 1 once in the browser console on your own website. That browser is then no longer counted. It is a flag you set in your own browser, not an identifier for visitors. The attribute is off by default, because with it the script checks for that flag on every visit, which counts as reading from the visitor's device under the ePrivacy rules.

Do ad blockers affect the numbers?

They can. Some ad blockers and privacy tools block analytics scripts of any kind, and that can include this one. Page views from those browsers are not counted.

Can Claude or ChatGPT really work with my statistics?

Yes. Fast Web Tracking has a connector (MCP server) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, with secure sign-in and approval. Your assistant can create sites, add domains, fetch the tracking snippet and add it to your website, and answer questions such as "Which pages got the most views last week?". It cannot delete anything.

What does Fast Web Tracking not do?

There is no real-time view of live visitors, no heatmaps, no session recordings, no funnels, no CSV export, no public or shared dashboards, no email reports, no Google Search Console import and no API. Recordings and following one visitor through a funnel would mean tracking individual people, which the privacy model rules out. The other items are simply not part of the product.
