@redpillschool I mean GA has the ability to track all of that, as well as any custom event you're wanting to track. I understand the apprehension of giving Google your data seeing they are as big as they are but, and I could just be ignorant, I haven't ever heard of them censoring a site. Sure they might hide content from search engine results, but they don't control the server that hosts the site directly.

@WhatSheepMayJump A couple things, I like to track what browsers are being used (For dev purposes) and growth: unique visitor growth, time on site, and hits. Server logs won't give me a lot of this after implementing a DDOS proxy. My server logs look like a small handful of people have visited 50,000 times each.

@redpillschool I’m not sure you need something like Google Analytics for a site like this although I’m not sure what your plans are for growing the site. Since most of the acquisition data will be direct throwing some UTMs can show you what specific post on reddit drove users. What are you trying to track?
