The banner drives people away
Every consent banner degrades the experience, and every refusal is a visit your tool will never count.

The problem
Your real traffic? You can't see it anymore.
Between refused consent, ad blockers and tools that became unreadable, classic web analytics is broken.

Ad blockers make you blind
Measurement scripts are blocked by default for a growing share of visitors. JavaScript tracking only sees part of reality.

SEO health
Your search ranking, ranked by your traffic.
Quiet Metrics visits your pages the way a search engine would and notes what holds their ranking back. Because it also measures your audience, it ranks each issue by the views and conversions of the page concerned: a broken link on your most read page comes before the same link on a forgotten one.
- Errors, redirects, title, canonical, sitemap, structured data, language versions
- What a robot alone cannot see: pages read but poorly linked, content without visits, traffic outside the sitemap
- Only your own sites get analysed: a proof of ownership before every visit

AI assistants
Ask your assistant. It only reads.
A read-only MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP-compatible client read your statistics once you sign in, from summaries and trends to rankings, real time and 404 pages. It only ever receives aggregated figures, never a visitor.
- Sign-in through OAuth, revocable at any time from your account
- With a filter, any figure computed on fewer than 5 visitors is hidden
- For your team, access opens seat by seat

How we count without tracking you
Nothing that identifies the visitor is written on their device: no identifying cookie, no tracking cookie, no persistent browser fingerprinting.
The script writes two things only, and neither tells one person from another: the exclusion marker, set by the person themselves to stop being counted, and a ten-minute continuity cookie that avoids counting one visit twice when the network changes along the way. The daily pseudonymous fingerprint, computed server-side, is enough to count without watching anyone over time: reliable, complete orders of magnitude, not individual surveillance.
Day 1
one fingerprint, valid that day only
midnight
the day’s salt is destroyed, and the fingerprint with it
Day 2
another, unrelated to yesterday
No way to connect one day to the next
The mechanism, plainly
- Ephemeral pseudonymous fingerprint: the daily salt is destroyed every night
- IP address never stored
- No cross-referencing between sites, no cross-site tracking
- Impossible to reconstruct an individual's journey from one day to the next
Documented compliance
- Measurement data hosted in France, never transferred outside the EU
- Purposes and configuration must be documented; consent when required
- DPA included + compliance documentation
- Automatic data retention, export and deletion on demand

“Never silent data loss, never a broken site.”
If you exceed your quota, in this order:
- Grace zone up to 120% of quota, with nothing lost.
- Alert emails at 80% then 100% of quota.
- A suggestion to move up a plan.
Only as a very last resort, after two consecutive months above quota, an announced limit: events received beyond it stop being analysed, but are still counted and shown.
Beyond the Agency plan, write to us: we look at higher volumes case by case.
Let's compare honestly
Every tool has its purpose. Here is where Quiet Metrics makes the difference, and why.
| Quiet Metrics | Classic analytics (GA4) | JS alternatives (Plausible-like) | Self-hosted open source | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic actually measured | Not blockable (server) | Reduced (blockers, refusals) | Reduced (blockers) | Varies |
| Cookie banner required | Depends on setup | Yes | Depends on setup | Depends on setup |
| Hosting in France | Yes, native | No (outside EU) | EU, rarely France | On you |
| Native PHP server tracking | Yes, 3 Composer packages | Complex (Measurement Protocol) | No (JS-only) | Rarely |
| Agency offer & white-label | Included (Agency plan) | No | Limited | Build it yourself |
| Maintenance | Zero-ops, hosted for you | Zero-ops | Zero-ops | VPS + updates to manage |
| Script weight | 4 KB gzipped, or 0 (server) | ~90 KB | ~1 KB | Varies |
| SEO issues ranked by your traffic | Yes, built-in crawler | Not announced | Not announced | Not announced |

See the live demo →Frequently asked questions
Is measurement without tracking cookies always exempt from consent?
No. Quiet Metrics sets no identifying or tracking cookies and performs no cross-site tracking, but that alone does not guarantee an exemption. Only two things are written on the visitor's device, and neither identifies them. The exclusion marker “qm_ignore”, which they set themselves to stop being counted, holds no identifier and is never sent to us: it is a refusal, and a refusal calls for no consent. The visit continuity cookie “qm_visit”, lasting ten sliding minutes, avoids counting the same person twice when their network changes during a visit; it falls under audience measurement and is never set on someone who has opted out. UTM campaigns, conversions and custom events, on the other hand, may require consent depending on your purposes and configuration. You remain the controller; we provide the DPA and technical documentation needed for your assessment.
How do I migrate from Google Analytics?
Add the script (or the PHP SDK) alongside GA4: both coexist without conflict. Compare the numbers for a few weeks, then remove GA4. Remove your consent mechanism only after reviewing your other tools, purposes and selected configuration. A detailed migration guide is included, and your goals are recreated in a few clicks, by event name or by path.
Can I self-host?
No, and it's a deliberate choice. The service is hosted and maintained for you, in France: no VPS to manage, no updates, no on-call. On the other hand, the SDKs are open source, the first-party proxy runs on your server, and your data remains exportable at any time. If self-hosting is an absolute requirement, we are probably not the right tool.
How do the trial and billing work?
Registration immediately opens a free account: no payment method is requested, and nothing is charged. Online subscription is not open yet; during the private beta, we grant the features and limits of the Pro plan to the accounts we invite. When we open commercially, announced at least 30 days ahead, you will pick a paid plan, stay on the free offer, or leave with your data.
Server tracking or script: which one should I choose?
The script (4 KB gzipped, no tracking cookies) installs with one tag and is enough for most sites. Server tracking (PHP SDK) sends each pageview from your server: invisible to ad blockers, it measures close to 100% of traffic, business events included. Both can coexist: deduplication is automatic. An official WordPress plugin is available on request.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes, at any time: CSV export and read API, site deletion from the app, and full account erasure on request to Protected contact detail: enable JavaScript to reveal it. After a trial or subscription ends, data remains exportable for 30 days by default unless immediate deletion is requested. We never resell or cross-reference it.
