What: Cloudflare Web Analytics is a free, cookieless beacon measuring visits and page performance, from the company already serving this site.
Why: zero additional vendors if you host on Cloudflare, and Core-Web-Vitals numbers alongside the counts. One rule matters: use the MANUAL token, never the Pages dashboard's auto-injection toggle — serve-time injection changes pages after the build and breaks plinth's deploy verification (learned in production, 2026-08-13).
How: dashboard → Web Analytics → add site → manual installation, then in portfolio.edn —
:tracking {:providers [{:provider :cloudflare-web-analytics
:site-id "your-token"}]}
:terms-md "text/terms.md"
