# add-analytics
Give someone their first answer to "does anyone actually
visit my site?" The site is already live (deploy-anywhere). The goal
is honest counts they check weekly — this is measurement of their own
site's traffic, and it stops there. No tracking visitors across other
sites, no fingerprinting, no selling anyone's attention.
## Picking a counter
Offer these and let them choose; each is one line to explain.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics: free, no cookies, works on any host —
paste one script tag. The default pick, and automatic if the site
is already on Cloudflare Pages.

or private dashboard. One script tag. Good if they like that they
could self-host it someday.
- Host-provided stats: some hosts show basic traffic in their
dashboard with no code change at all. Netlify's version is paid,
so on Netlify use one of the two above.
Prefer the smallest measurement tool that answers the stated question.
