Under 1 KB script and single-page apps

What it is

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 it works

1. Paste the tag before </head>.
2. Route changes through history.pushState and back/forward are counted.
3. Sends with sendBeacon so it never holds up navigation.

Set it up

<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 on your site’s settings page. Install guides →

Privacy: what is and isn’t collected

Collected

• See Zero cookies, privacy built in

Never collected

• Cookies, localStorage or anything else stored on the visitor’s device
• IP addresses or user agents (used in memory, then discarded)
• Anything that links a visitor across days (the visitor ID resets daily)

Rows and limits

• 845 bytes (script.js); 2,344 bytes for the optional events script

“Rows” are database rows written, which is what our hosting is billed on. Reads are not rows written. Methodology →
