A word about privacy & Fathom
If you care about privacy and website-analytics, I encourage you to read some of my toughts about it, explaining why I made the move from Google Analytics to Fathom.
TL;DR
Fathom is a Google Analytics alternative. They offer Fathom Lite, which is free and you can self-host. Thereby no data is being shared with third party services.
Although Fathom Lite does not collect any personally identifiable information (and is GDPR compliant), it currently still uses a cookie (and is not PECR compliant without a cookie notice). If you need a cookie-free solution, I suggest switching to Fathom Pro. Fathom Lite might become cookie-free in a future update though 🤞.
Requirements
This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later and Fathom Lite
Installation
To install the plugin, follow these instructions.
-
Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:
cd /path/to/project
-
Then tell Composer to load the plugin:
composer require stenvdb/craft-fathom-analytics
- In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Fathom Analytics.
Fathom Analytics Overview
This plugin only works with Fathom Lite, the self-hosted open source version. Reasons being Fathom does not have an official documented API. Once Fathom releases a documented API (which might be in the works), I'll consider providing support for Fathom Pro. In the meantime, this plugin uses Fathom's already great internal API.
Configuring Fathom Analytics
This plugin obviously requires Fathom running on one of your servers. Once it is up and running (which is super easy), configure Fathom Analytic's settings in a config/fathom-anaytics.php
file (multi-site config is supported). See an example below:
Tracking Code Snippet
When enabling injectTracking
setting, the tracking snippet (editable in the plugin settings) will automatically be injected into the head section of your site.
This is disabled by default.
Alternatively you can use the following code snippet to force the code injection in your template:
