Analytics

Track page views, link clicks, referrers, and visitor countries with built-in privacy-friendly analytics.

Analytics

See how your page is performing at /admin/insights. LinkDen tracks visitor activity without relying on third-party services -- all data stays in your own database.

Dashboard Overview

Time Period

Filter all data by 7 days (default), 30 days, 90 days, or All time. Changing the period updates every chart and stat on the page. Days are counted in the timezone set under Settings → Account (UTC when unset).

Stat Cards

Two cards at the top give you the big picture:

  • Total Views -- Page views for the selected period.
  • Total Clicks -- Link clicks for the selected period.

Views vs Clicks

A chart of daily page views and link clicks (Clicks is the dashed line). Every day of the period is shown, with zero on days without traffic. Hover a day for exact counts; screen readers get a table of the daily numbers.

Three cards below the chart break down your traffic:

  • Top Links -- Your most-clicked links ranked by click count (top 10).
  • Referrers -- Where your visitors are coming from. Direct visits (no referrer) show as "Direct" (top 10).
  • Countries -- Which countries your visitors are in (top 20).

What Gets Tracked

Page views record the timestamp, the referring site's hostname (for example instagram.com, never the full URL), and the visitor's country.

Link clicks record which link was clicked, the referring hostname, and the visitor's country.

Raw rows are kept for 365 days and then deleted by the daily retention job.

Privacy

LinkDen's analytics are designed to respect your visitors' privacy:

  • Consent first (by default): with the consent banner on, nothing is recorded until the visitor accepts analytics. If you turn the banner off, every visit is recorded without asking. See Consent Banner.
  • No tracking cookies. The visitor's choice is kept in their browser's local storage.
  • No IP addresses or user-agent strings are stored. Country comes from Cloudflare's request header.
  • LinkDen adds no tracking scripts. Embed blocks and CAPTCHA load third-party content (see the privacy page).
  • No fingerprinting techniques are used.
  • Analytics data lives in your own database and is never sent to an external service.

Next Steps

Insights also carries a dismissible Next steps strip: it nudges you to add a block, share your page, or configure email when those are still missing.
