Pinfox documentation
Get simple, real-time website analytics that respect privacy and don’t slow down your site. This guide will help you add Pinfox to your site and get the most out of it.
What is Pinfox?
Pinfox is a lightweight, privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. It gives you real-time traffic data—pageviews, referrers, countries, and device info—without cookies, sampling, or heavy scripts. It’s built for small businesses, indie hackers, and developers who want fast, honest analytics.

No cookies, no fingerprinting. GDPR-friendly and easier to explain in privacy policies.
