User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Fathom Analytics WordPress plugin for its privacy-focused approach, simple installation, and easy-to-use interface. It enables clean, straightforward analytics without requiring cookie banners or third-party integration, simplifying data analysis and maintaining user privacy. Many find it an excellent alternative to Google Analytics, with intuitive event tracking and a well-designed dashboard that clients and administrators favor. Customer support is highly praised for responsiveness and transparency. However, a notable drawback is the termination of support for the open-source version, requiring manual installation of older plugin versions for those users. Additionally, some users expressed uncertainty about its functionality on specific pages.

No cookie banners required, no bloat added by google code, no third party website required to see your stats. Just awesome.

Easy to install, great interface in the WP backend. My clients love this rather than digging in Google Analytics.

I was trying to find a header script plugin, glad there’s an official integration. I’m not 100% sure if its working on my homepage, but it was easy enough to set up.
