how do I track how many users visit my website

Question

I just deployed my first ever web app and I am curious if there is an easy way to track every time someone visits my website, well I am sure there is but how?

Answer 1

know from myself people are obsessed with traffic, statistics, looking at other sites – tracking their stats and so on. And if there is enough demand, of course there are sites to satisfy You. I wanted to put those sites and tools in one list together, because at least for me this field was really unclear – I didn’t know what means Google Pagerank, Alexa, Compete, Technorati rankings and I could continue so on. I must say not always these stats are precise, but however they give at least overview, how popular the certain page is, how many visitors that sites gets – and if You compare those stats with Your site statistics, You can get pretty precise results then.

Answer 2

Easy as pie, use Google Analytics, you just have to include a tiny script in your app's pages

Answer 3

PythonAnywhere Dev here. You also have your access log. You can click through this from your web app tab. It shows you the raw data about your visitors. I would personally also use something like Google Analytics. However you don't need to do anything to be able to just see your raw visitor data. It's already there.

I am a huge fan of Cloudflare's analytics. It is super easy to setup, and you don't have to worry about adding a javascript blurb to each page. Cloudflare is also able to track all of the things that visit your page without loading the javascript.
