Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics — The sensible low-friction choice for sites already on Cloudflare that mainly need a lightweight traffic overview, although it is not rich enough to be the primary analytics system for serious funnel, product, or attribution work.
ChatGPT
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity — Use it as a companion to one of the tools above when you need free heatmaps and session recordings to understand *why* visitors struggle; I would not use it as the sole replacement for web analytics and conversion reporting.
