In the "devices", the tablets are in mobile or desktop? Otherwise look nice, may be i'll get rid of Google Analytics.

A new competitor for Fathom Analytics and Simple Analytics 😎
Since the analytics will not keep a visitor's data, it will not be able to track conversions. Such a tool will be suitable for small websites: personal pages, blogs.

P.S.: I do not work for Cloudflare. Just giving the product a shout out.
The subtitle seems misleading, I don't believe that the web analytics are free. You can see some very basic stuff but the true analytics come with the Pro plan.
I was very excited to see the product but I have my doubts after checking de Cloudflare Analytics compared to GA. I've read the blog post and understand the numbers must be different because how they are obtained, but not so different.
In our website GA tell me we have around 5-30 page views a day over the last week from 2-8 users. However, Cloudflare says we have had between 90-150 unique visitors each day, more than 50% of that from countries where they don't speak our language and we don't have a site translated.
Always good to have more analytics tools to choose, GA is just too privacy-invading.
