"The complexity of Google Analytics is a barrier to its use in our newsroom"

Unlike Google Analytics, which often has a 24-48 hour data delay, NowMetrix provides instant content performance insights. Delayed analytics mean missed opportunities; NowMetrix solves this. See what your audience loves the second it happens on our clear, easy-to-understand dashboard. Never wait for reports again. Publish new content and see its impact in seconds.

The Google Analytics Problem

Traditional analytics platforms like Google Analytics are a poor fit for newsrooms. Their complexity forces journalists and editors to waste hours navigating cumbersome dashboards and hunting for data among countless metrics, slowing down critical insights.

The NowMetrix Solution

Understanding the unique demands of news, NowMetrix was created by former journalists specifically for publishers. We ensure editors receive only the vital, real-time data necessary for their work, presented exactly when it matters.

Frequently asked questions

What differentiates NowMetrix from other analytics tools?

Our dashboard is designed specifically for newsrooms and content teams. The majority of our focus is on processing real-time data. Most user data is therefore deleted again after 24 hours. However, you can still check our dashboard to see which articles generated the most pageviews yesterday or on a specific date.

For more extensive long-term analyses, we recommend continuing to use an additional analytics tool. You can easily use our service simultaneously with other analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, etc.

Will it slow down my website?

No, your website speed is not affected in any way when using our service. Our script is barely 2KB in size and is delivered over a worldwide content delivery network (CDN). All statistics analysis is done in the background and does not affect the speed of your website.

Is it easy to install?

Yes, our tracking pixel can be installed on your website with a few clicks. Most customers add our tracking code via Google Tag Manager, it’s done in a few minutes.

Of course, you can also add our tracking code by hand in the <head> section of your website. And if they are still using AMP, we offer a special tracking script for that as well.

How many websites/domains can i track?

You can track as many websites or domains as you want, and you’ll have access to each dashboard within your account. Pricing is calculated based on the total number of pages across all domains and websites, so they are all combined together in the calculation.

How many team members can i add to my dashboard?

You can add unlimited team members to your dashboard for free. We don’t charge per seats.

What happens if I go over my page view limit?

We don’t penalize you for occasional traffic spikes, and we won’t shut your account off if you reach your plan limit early. In the event that you exceed your plan limit two months in a row or within the first month of joining our platform, we’ll simply inform you that your account is being upgraded. You can then choose to continue with the upgraded plan or cancel your account without any obligation.

Where ist the data stored?

All of our data is securely stored and hosted within the European Union, with our data centers located in Frankfurt and Nuremberg, Germany. We are committed to providing real-time analytics services, and as part of this commitment, we store user data for only 24 hours before it is permanently deleted. This ensures that we do not retain long-term data, aligning with our focus on real-time insights. Additionally, our use of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) ensures optimal global performance, offering fast and reliable access from any location around the world.
