Analytics

Real-time click analytics with geo, device, and referrer breakdowns plus shareable dashboards.

Every click on a Public Url short link is captured on the redirect hot path, streamed through Kafka, and stored in ClickHouse. Dashboards query the event store directly, so new clicks appear within about 5 seconds.

Metrics

  • Clicks and unique clicks — total volume and deduplicated visitors.
  • CTR — click-through rate for shared placements.
  • Geography — country and city, resolved from the visitor IP (hashed, not stored in clear text).
  • Technology — device type, browser, and OS parsed from the user agent.
  • Referrers — where clicks originate, alongside UTM source, medium, and campaign.

All metrics can be scoped by time range, link, domain, tag, or campaign.

Live event stream

The dashboard includes a live view that shows clicks as they happen — useful during launches, email sends, and campaign windows.

Each link has its own analytics view with timeseries, breakdowns, and top referrers, so you can compare slug or channel performance without building a report.

Public dashboard sharing

Any analytics view can be shared through a public dashboard link. Anyone with the token URL can view the dashboard — no account required. This is the recommended way to give clients or stakeholders read-only access.

Public dashboard links are served unauthenticated by design. Treat the token like a secret and rotate it if it leaks.

Bot filtering

The redirect pipeline flags likely bots on each click event. Analytics queries can exclude bot traffic so automated crawlers never inflate campaign numbers.
