Frequently Asked Questions

Instead of answering the same questions about our product via email or private messages, we include most frequent here.

What are the hosting requirements?

The app runs on any standard PHP hosting or VPS with SQLite enabled. No Node.js, no build tools, and no special server configuration are required. Serverless platforms like Vercel or Cloudflare Workers are not supported.

Does this use cookies or track personal data?

No. The app is designed to be privacy-friendly by default. It does not use cookies, fingerprinting, or collect personal user data. Only basic page-level analytics are recorded.

Is it difficult to install?

Not at all. Upload the files to your server, open the dashboard, and paste the tracking script into your website. Most users are up and running in just a few minutes.

Will this work on shared hosting?

Yes. The app is specifically designed to work on most shared PHP hosting environments as well as VPS setups. As long as PHP and SQLite are available, it should run without issues.

Can I track multiple websites?

Each installation generates its own site token. You can track multiple sites by creating separate installations or by extending the script if you prefer a multi-site setup.

What metrics does the app track?

The dashboard shows page views, visit duration, bounce rate, top pages, referrers, countries, devices, operating systems, and browsers — focused on the metrics that actually matter.
