What is Swetrix?

Swetrix is a GDPR-friendly analytics platform that counts traffic without cookies, consent banners or cross-device tracking. Alongside traffic sources, pages and events, it tracks JavaScript errors, records session replays and measures page performance, so one script covers both marketing questions and front-end health. It can be self-hosted with ClickHouse, MySQL and Redis, and 6 translations of the interface are available.

Good fit if

  • You want analytics and error tracking from one privacy-friendly script.
  • You want to see slow pages and errors next to traffic numbers.
