Common questions
- Is Quantalog a replacement for Cloudflare Web Analytics?
- Yes, and a superset for most needs — it covers the same pageviews and referrers without a banner, then adds real-time data, custom events, funnels, retention and SEO audits.
- Do I need to use Cloudflare as my CDN to run Quantalog?
- No. Quantalog is a single script tag and works on any host. Cloudflare Web Analytics is easiest when your site is already proxied through Cloudflare.
- Is Quantalog free like Cloudflare Web Analytics?
- There is a free tier to 10k pageviews a month with every feature included. Above that it is usage-based, where Cloudflare's offering is free at any volume but far narrower.
