Visitor analytics
Every Docsio site has analytics built in. No setup, no Google Tag Manager, no cookie banner needed.
Where to see it
Project settings → Analytics. Or from the dashboard, click any project → Analytics.
What's tracked
- Pageviews — total and unique.
- Visitors — unique counts.
- Top pages — sorted by views with click-through paths.
- Top referrers — where visitors came from.
- Country and device breakdown — high-level only, no IP storage.
- Search queries — what visitors searched for inside your site (Pro).
What's NOT tracked
- IP addresses (hashed at edge, never stored)
- User accounts or identity
- Mouse position, click heatmaps, session recordings
- Third-party cookies or tracking pixels
- Anything that requires GDPR cookie consent
It's intentionally minimal. We give you the metrics that matter for docs (which pages are read, what people search for) without any of the surveillance baggage.
Date ranges
- Free: last 7 days.
- Pro: 30 days standard, 90 days for the comparison view.
To see longer history on Free, upgrade to Pro — historical data is preserved (we just hide the older windows on Free).
Search analytics Pro
If you have the full-text search bar enabled, you'll also see:
- Top searches (what visitors are looking for)
- Searches with no results (gap detection — pages you should write)
- Click-through rate per search
Excellent for spotting which docs to improve next.

Privacy notes
- We're GDPR-compliant by design — no consent banner needed.
- Analytics events are aggregated server-side; we don't store per-visitor histories.
- Visitor IPs are hashed at our CDN edge before reaching our analytics database.
- Devices are bucketed (mobile/desktop/tablet) — no specific device fingerprints.
If your privacy policy needs to disclose analytics, the simplest line is "We use first-party, cookieless analytics that don't identify you."
