I first started using Simple Analytics in ~2020, and couldn't look back after that. I love the ability to set a custom domain which allows us to bypass browser extensions that block analytics to get even more data and insights. Also, appreciating how convenient and straightforward the WordPress integration is.


Love this analytics and the straightforward WordPress integration it offers! ;)
