• Q: What kind of analytics can you provide?

• A: We always provide metrics on unique visitors, total hits, average viewing session, and geographic data. Depending on the CDN (content delivery network) we can provide different kinds of metrics and analytics. If you have a specific need we can pair your project with the proper CDN to help you achieve your goals.
