Metrics.Me – Google Analytics Alternatives

Google Analytics slows down your website.

Many website owners suppose it’s an absolute necessity to use Google Analytics. We recommend something more esoteric. Google Analytics slows down your website by 300 milliseconds on every page and post. There are faster alternatives.

This ebook has three sections:

1
Section 1: Google Analytics causes your site to fail two-speed tests. Google Analytics is now the most widely used web analytics service on the Internet. But few know how to use it or interpret it’s mysterious data. It seems complicated. We explain simple free plugin methods to speed up your site.


2
Section 2: HotJar adds 500 milliseconds to your page load time – globally. THAT move blows 25 percent of the entire performance budget. You want to reconsider activating that plugin and API? HotJar does user recording to improve user experience (UX). Here’s the speed story and a simple repair for speed improvement.


Data Overload

3
Section 3: Use faster-and-simpler plugin analytics for speed — instead of slow-and-complicated Google Analytics. We don’t want more gobbledygook big data. We want fewer data. If you care more about user experience than data mining, use this plugin solution instead.


Don’t hesitate using free solutions. Don’t get locked in for recurring *annual renewal* plugin memberships. Save your money.
