Tracking Setup

Basic Page Tracking

<script defer src="https://analytics.yourdomain.com/script.js"
  data-website-id="your-website-id"></script>

The tracking script is only 2KB gzipped and loads asynchronously — zero impact on page performance.

Custom Event Tracking

// Track button click
umami.track('signup-click', { plan: 'pro', source: 'landing' });

// Track form submission
umami.track('contact-form', {
  type: 'enterprise',
  company: 'Acme Corp'
});

// Track page view with custom data
umami.track({ url: '/virtual-page', title: 'Custom Page' });

React/Next.js Integration

import Script from 'next/script';

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <head>
        <Script
          defer
          src="https://analytics.yourdomain.com/script.js"
          data-website-id="your-website-id"
        />
      </head>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

FAQ

Q: Umami or Plausible? A: If you only need clean traffic stats, Plausible is lighter. If you need product analytics features (user segmentation, funnel analysis, user journeys), Umami is more comprehensive. Umami's MIT license is also more permissive.

Q: PostgreSQL or MySQL? A: PostgreSQL is recommended. Both are supported, but Umami's core development targets PostgreSQL, with better community support and documentation.

Q: Can it handle high-traffic sites? A: Yes. Umami uses efficient aggregation queries — a single instance can handle millions of daily page views. For very large sites, scale horizontally with multiple Umami instances and database read replicas.
