What Gets Tracked
Pageviews & Unique Visitors
Every page load is recorded with URL, title, and page type (article, category, author, homepage). Deduplication ensures the same IP + page within 10 minutes counts only once.
Real-Time Dashboard
See who's on your site right now. Active visitors in the last 5 minutes, the pages they're reading, where they came from. Live, no refresh needed.
Geographic Data
Every visitor is geolocated to country, region, and city via MaxMind GeoIP2. See which markets drive your traffic, visualized on a map in your dashboard.
Device & Browser
Know whether your readers are on iPhone, Android, desktop, or tablet. See which browsers and operating systems dominate your audience. Inform design decisions with real data.
Traffic Sources
Every visit is attributed to a source: direct, organic search, social media, referral, or a UTM campaign. See exactly which channel drives the most engaged readers.
Search Queries
When a reader arrives from a search engine, NewsPro extracts the search keyword. See exactly what people searched for before landing on your articles.
Dashboard KPIs
Common Questions
No. NewsPro's built-in analytics covers all the essential metrics: pageviews, visitors, sources, geography, devices, and sessions. You can still add Google Analytics if you want — but most publishers don't need it.
No. Tracking is handled server-side — there's no additional JavaScript on your pages. It adds zero milliseconds to your page load time.
Because tracking is server-side (not a client-side JS script), ad blockers don't affect it. You get accurate data — not the 20–30% undercount that client-side tools suffer from.
Never. All analytics data stays in your own database. We don't sell, share, or process your readers' data.
Analytics data is retained for as long as your account is active. You can query any date range since you first went live.
