FAQ

The questions people actually ask before adding telemtrie to their site.

What is telemtrie?

Self-hosted, privacy-first analytics for your website — pageviews and visitors, real Web Vitals (page-speed) data, and an optional checkout funnel for e-commerce. One small script, no cookies.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It's a tiny script loaded with defer and run after your page is interactive, so it never blocks rendering. It makes no third-party requests and pulls in no other libraries.

Do I need a cookie-consent banner for it?

telemtrie sets no cookies and stores no personal data, so it generally isn't the thing that triggers a cookie banner. That said, your overall obligations depend on everything else on your site and your jurisdiction — this isn't legal advice, so check what applies to you. See the privacy page for exactly what's collected.

Is it privacy / GDPR-friendly?

It's designed that way: no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting, and raw IP addresses are never stored (they're turned into a one-way hash that rotates daily). Most of what people worry about with analytics simply isn't collected.

What does it actually track?

Page paths (query strings stripped), referrer domain, country (country-level only), device type, browser/OS names, Web Vitals, and any custom events you choose to send. Full detail on the privacy page.

Do you track bounce rate?

Yes — the dashboard shows the share of daily visitors who viewed only one page. It's computed from pageviews we already collect (no extra tracking, no cookies), so it's an honest single-pageview-visitor proxy rather than a true session-based bounce rate — we don't run 30-minute session timers, and a visitor spanning midnight counts as two. It's a reliable directional signal for which pages send people straight back out.

What does it cost?

$5/month per site — versus $10/month per project for Vercel Speed Insights alone, plus whatever a separate analytics tool would run you. Self-hosted, so there's no per-event or traffic surcharge.

How do I install it?

Paste one snippet into your site's <head>. There are copy-paste recipes for plain HTML, Next.js, Shopify, and Tag Manager on the install page — or hand the prompt to an AI assistant and it'll wire it up.

Can visitors opt out?

Yes. Anyone with Do Not Track enabled is never tracked, and a visitor can opt out manually with localStorage.setItem('telemtrie_optout','1').

Where does my data live?

In the operator's own database — it's self-hosted. It isn't sold, shared, or sent to any third party.

What platforms does it work with?

Anything that lets you add a <script> tag — static sites, Next.js/React, Astro, Shopify, WordPress, Tag Manager, you name it.
