Hi folks,

Today, I’m thrilled to announce the release of version 3 of SimpleStats, our server-side, GDPR-compliant analytics tool for Laravel applicactions designed to go beyond basic metrics like views and visits.

SimpleStats provides in-depth analytics such as registrations, conversion rates, daily active users, campaign ROI, ARPU (average revenue per user), and total revenue — all with server-side tracking that ad blockers can’t block.

What’s new in version 3?

Here’s a quick summary of the latest improvements:

* New comparisons: Compare previous periods and year-over-year data.

* Graph zoom: Click on data points to zoom into specific time ranges.

* Defer function: Simplifies setup by making queues optional.

* Visitor payments: Payments can now be linked to visitors (for apps without user accounts), introducing a new metric: ARPV (Average Revenue per Visitor).

* Bot filtering: Client-side bot detection reduces API calls and improves performance.

* Faster browser/bot detection: Now uses caching for better speed.

* Social login: Added Google and GitHub login support.

* UUID and ULID support.

* Timezone fixes and lots of small bug fixes and performance tweaks.

Thanks for your time, Zacharias
