Privacy-First Analytics Without Scripts

Ad-blockers and privacy regulations have eroded client-side analytics. The answer is to measure where the request already exists: at the edge.

Collect minimal data

EdgeCore records only slug, country, referer, device, and timestamp. No IP addresses, no user identifiers, no persistent cookies.

Non-blocking by design

Using context.waitUntil(), database writes execute after the response is sent. TTFB remains unaffected and users experience zero delay.

Actionable insights

Even with minimal data, you can track popular posts, traffic sources, and geographic interest without compromising visitor privacy.
