 * Hi, in consideration of a possible switch to this system instead of using google
   analytics, I am concerned that it may slow down the site.
 * What can you tell me about a really busy site? (1 million page views per month)
   
   have you done any tests?
 * thank you very much

 * Hi [@seoergoweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seoergoweb/),
 * You can expect one additional post request with ajax to your server, after the
   page has been loaded. This to ensure compatibility with caching plugins. As the
   request is fired after the page has fully loaded, it won’t impact your user’s
   experience. Additionally, you can defer the script to ensure it loads last. In
   a future release this will be an option, right now you can do this with a caching
   plugin, or a mu-plugin snippet. Usually statistics scripts will load early on
   the page to be able to measure more bounces, which is why the defer is not default.
 * We have done extensive tests with performance, and use it on our own sites as
   well with quite a lot of traffic (really-simple-ssl.com, complianz.io). One of
   the advantages of self hosted statistics is that there’s no third party server
   involved, so it loads pretty fast.
 * Currently we also have agregation/archiving of data in development, with which
   you can choose to archive statistics data after a certain period, to limit the
   statistics table size.
 * If you have any feature requests, you can submit them here:

 * Let me know if you have any questions!

 * Thank you very much,
    I think I will start with some low traffic sites.

    The latest release
   includes a new tracking method, with a beacon, which is very fast. In addition
   to that you can also enable “turbo mode”, which will improve your performance
   even more!
