ms clarity is prolly your best bet

ZachHandley•5/19/25, 1:57 AM

static means pre-compiled, means there's no analytics to gather for a lot of things

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 1:58 AM

Uh, what are you talking about? Cloudflare Pages lets me enable web analytics with a click of a button

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 1:59 AM

Workers with static assets has no such option

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 1:59 AM

Even though both do the exact same thing — serving static, precompiled assets

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 1:59 AM

There is but it's not on the Worker settings. It's in the settings of the custom domain.

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 2:00 AM

You want these steps: https://developers.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/get-started/#sites-proxied-through-cloudflare

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:02 AM

Which doesn't seem to work with subdomains for some reason. I can enable it automagically for

example.com

example.com

but not for stuff.example.comstuff.example.com

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:02 AM

Which is something I could do with Pages that were given a subdomain

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:03 AM

As in, a pages project deployed to stuff.example.comstuff.example.com could have web analytics enabled with a click of a button

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 2:03 AM

Hmm interesting, I understand why given it's not a subdomain zone but odd that you could on Pages then

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 2:04 AM

Oh I bet Pages just deployed an analytics rule for you: https://developers.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/configuration-options/rules/

It makes a JS Snippet and part of the Pages Asset Handler is injecting it via html rewriter

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 2:04 AM

Oh I see :lul:

Isaac McFadyen•5/19/25, 2:04 AM

That's... interesting.

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:06 AM

If so, then it means Pages let me bypass the free account limitations

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:06 AM

Yeah lmao

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:06 AM

yea it doesn't, it just goes about it in a different way

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:08 AM

I thought though when you enable Web Analytics Automatic setup on the zone it enables it for all subdomains too, and that's why the rules existed, would have to test tho

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:10 AM

oop yea it does, it injects it on all subdomains too

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:11 AM

Even on free you can use Configuration Rules to disable/enable its injection, to get around not having any web analytic rules

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:12 AM

^^ (enabling it on example.com enables it for the entire zone)

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:13 AM

Can I somehow filter it by subdomains, though? So I can see visits for foo.ex.comfoo.ex.com and bar.ex.combar.ex.com separately, instead of just seeing the cumulative visits for *.ex.com*.ex.com?

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:14 AM

Ah, filter by site

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:14 AM

Yeah, that works

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:15 AM

You can filter by Host(name)

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:15 AM

Site is the actual Web Analytics setups

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:15 AM

Ah, that works too

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:16 AM

Would be nice to just have a dropdown or something that automatically lists all subdomains with workers/pages associated to them

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:17 AM

Instead of having to manually type in the full government name of each page lol

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:19 AM

Scroll down to "Hosts" and you can select a specific one to filter to

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:20 AM

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:20 AM

Huh? Where's that menu?

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:20 AM

bottom of the analytics view

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:21 AM

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:21 AM

you need traffic lol

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:21 AM

it's based on actual requests

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:21 AM

you can expand that to up to 15 items and then select/filter to them, it's sorted by most requests, better then typing in the full hostnames given that you probably won't have more then 15 active hostnamesthat you care about

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:22 AM

I visited some of the pages deployed to the subdomains of this domain, but the visits don't show

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:22 AM

I guess it needs time?

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:22 AM

if you just enabled it yea, needs time to ingest + it's client side tracking so any adblocking will kill it

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:22 AM

and it excludes bots by default/is js-based, so need a visitor with js enabled, etc

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:23 AM

Ah, curious. The subdomain site where I added the JS snipppet manually shows some visits (none from my country) but the generic top-level domain does not

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:23 AM

worth noting only one of those will work if you have them both enabled on the same hostname

Chaika•5/19/25, 2:24 AM

I forgot what determines that, think it's first one to load or something? eh

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:26 AM

Yeah, I think I'll go with the manual snippet instalation. Or I'll just convert this project back into a Pages project

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:26 AM

Only went with Workers because I wanted to run some stuff on a CRON trigger and Pages functions have no support for it

AngiusOP•5/19/25, 2:26 AM

But I can live without that

So, enabling analytics for Pages is super easy, but there's no way to do that for static Workers pro
