Public Access for Analytics
The heft.io service now supports public access to analytics insights. Viewers do not need an account and see the same data as signed-in users; with a range fixed to the previous 14 days.
That access includes highlights and KPIs, top pages, top referrers, traffic sources (direct, organic, referral, and social), top browsers, operating systems, device types, languages, and origin countries.
Public sharing is optional. In site settings, beside the General tab, the Public Access tab toggles the feature and exposes the URL available for others without granting console access or historic data.
For a live deployment, browse the public analytics for 68keys.io, a mechanical keyboard project. Of course, the availability and uptime of the site sharing component is tracked via status.heft.io.
Status Dashboard for Services
To track uptime and availability, there is now a status dashboard on status.heft.io available.
This is done using phare.io and hosted in the EU.
Referrers TreeMap in Analytics
The analytics application has an updated Referrers section. Using a treemap, this visualises the sources of incoming traffic of a site. Initially, this is grouped by referring domains.
When selecting a traffic source, the individual referrer URLs and referred pages are shown.
This helps to identify top-performing content and which sources are driving the most traffic.
Passkeys for Account Security
The analytics application now supports logging in using Passkeys.
