Lite Analytics

Development paused

Lite Analytics is a hosted web analytics service with servers at Hetzner in Germany; it is still running, but there have been no public signs of development since 2024. It sets no cookies and counts visitors with a daily hash, and paid plans count both pageviews and events.

Strengths

  • Counts visitors with a daily hash of the date, hostname, IP address and user agent plus a salt, and the IP address is discarded after hashing, according to the data policy.
  • The dashboard in the live demo reports sessions, pages per session, bounce rate, average session duration and users active in the last five minutes, with a separate real-time view.
  • Custom events are set with HTML attributes instead of JavaScript calls: data-lta-event on a link, button or form records the click or submission, and events can be grouped into categories.
  • Occasional traffic spikes above the plan are not charged, according to the terms, and Google Ads clicks without a utm_medium value are tagged as ppc automatically.
  • Your own visits can be excluded with a flag in the browser’s local storage, and the script can also be added as a Custom HTML tag in Google Tag Manager.

Watch-outs

  • The blog’s most recent post is from July 2024, and the vendor publishes no changelog or source code, so recent development cannot be confirmed.
  • Location stops at the country: the data policy says region and city will be added, and the documentation describes no goals, funnels or API.
  • Custom events are not listed on the free plan, and on paid plans they count toward the monthly allowance in the same way as pageviews.
  • If traffic keeps exceeding the plan and you do not upgrade within two weeks, the account is suspended, and two weeks later it is closed and its data deleted.
  • The daily hash cannot recognize a visitor on the next day, so there is no count of unique visitors over a month, and data is deleted one month after a subscription ends.

Who it suits

Lite Analytics is a hosted service operated by Netmark doo that counts visitors without cookies and keeps its data on Hetzner servers in Germany. Sign-up and the live demo still work, but the blog’s latest post dates from July 2024 and the vendor keeps no public changelog, so there are no visible signs of recent development.

The free plan covers 10,000 pageviews a month on two websites with one user. Listed paid plans go up to one million pageviews and 100 websites, with larger plans arranged individually; they add custom events and count events together with pageviews.

Reports stop at country level, and the documentation describes no goals, funnels or API. For how daily hashes replace cookies, see what “cookieless” means here.

Setup

Sign up with an email address or a Google account, then add a site by its bare domain, without www, and choose the time zone that all its reports will use. In Settings, Get code produces a script tag with your domain in its data-host attribute; place it just before the closing head tag.

A separate Google Tag Manager version of the code goes into a Custom HTML tag with the All Pages trigger. For WordPress, the vendor offers no plugin of its own and points to the theme’s code fields, the Header & Footer Code plugin or a function in functions.php. Custom events work only after you set the data-events attribute to true.

Questions and answers

Does Lite Analytics use cookies?

No. According to the data policy, visitors are identified with a daily hash of the date, hostname, IP address and user agent plus a salt, and the IP address is not stored. The vendor says no cookie banner is needed for Lite Analytics; whether that holds for your site depends on the rules that apply to you.

Is there a free Lite Analytics plan?

Yes. The free plan covers 10,000 pageviews a month on two websites, with one user and one email report. New accounts also get a 30-day trial that needs no credit card, and paid plans are billed through Paddle, monthly or yearly.

What happens if my traffic exceeds the plan?

Occasional spikes are not charged. If traffic stays above the plan, the vendor contacts you to upgrade; without an upgrade within two weeks the account is suspended, and two weeks after that it is terminated and its data deleted, according to the terms.

Where is Lite Analytics data stored?

In Germany. The data policy says all services and collected data are hosted with Hetzner, an EU-based company, on its servers in Germany, and the homepage states that visitor data never leaves the EU.
