What it does

One async script tag. It counts a pageview on load and on history changes, and never blocks your page.

Why it matters

Analytics shouldn’t cost your visitors load time. Smaller scripts also mean less to audit.

How to use it

  1. Paste the tag before </head> once (for React, Next.js or Vue, in your root layout or index.html).
  2. Route changes through history.pushState and back/forward are counted automatically.
  3. Keep data-dnt="true" so Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control visitors are skipped.
HTML
<script data-host="https://quietstats.co.uk" data-dnt="true" src="https://quietstats.co.uk/js/script.js" id="YOUR_SITE_ID" async defer></script>

Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with the ID shown on your site’s Manage page.
