What is Pulse by Ciphera?
Pulse by Ciphera is privacy-first web analytics — traffic, uptime, performance and search data in one dashboard, cookie-free by design. It sets no cookies and stores nothing about individual visitors, so no consent banner is needed for the analytics.
About the open-source badge: the client is open source — the dashboard and tracking script are AGPL-3.0 (https://github.com/ciphera-net/pulse) and the CLI is Apache-2.0 (https://github.com/ciphera-net/pulse-cli) — while the backend runs as a managed cloud service and is not self-hostable. The code that runs in your visitors' browsers is public and auditable; the service itself is hosted by Ciphera.
In one dashboard: traffic (visitors, referrers, UTM campaigns, custom events, funnels, scroll depth, realtime), uptime monitoring with incident history, daily Lighthouse-based performance checks, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster data, and CDN analytics.
Your numbers stay reachable: a public read API that stays additive for at least 24 months, the open-source CLI, and CSV/JSON/Excel export. If your data is only reachable through a vendor's UI, "your data is yours" means little; the API and CLI keep leaving realistic.
Built by Ciphera BV in Belgium; analytics data hosted on Swiss infrastructure. Free to 5,000 pageviews/month; paid from €7/month; every feature on every plan. Live demo with our own site's real data: https://pulse.ciphera.net/demo
