Problem

Webstudio users who host sites on Webstudio Cloud do not have a simple built-in way to see basic traffic data. They must connect and maintain a separate analytics service, even when they only need common numbers such as visits and page views.

This adds setup work and makes it harder to understand how a site is being used.

Desired result

Add a simple analytics view in the Webstudio dashboard for hosted sites.

The first version should make it easy to see basic information such as:

  • visits and page views
  • traffic over time
  • most visited pages
  • the time range being viewed

The view should be privacy-conscious and should not require users to add tracking code to their sites.

Product scope

  • Make the feature available for eligible Webstudio Cloud sites.
  • Keep the first version focused on basic traffic data.
  • Clearly show the data source, time range, and update delay.
  • Handle sites with no data and sites with multiple domains.
  • Explain which hosting and export setups are supported.

Open questions

  • Which metrics are reliable and useful for the first version?
  • Should the data come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, another source, or both?
  • How much history should be available?
  • Which plans include the feature?
  • What privacy controls and data retention rules are needed?
