More creators and indie builders are moving to Framer, Webflow, and Notion to build fast, beautiful websites without code. But analytics has remained surprisingly complicated—especially with GA4’s heavy script, consent banner requirements, and confusing dashboards. The good news: lightweight, privacy-first analytics tools now exist, letting you track traffic instantly with a tiny script you can paste into any site. This guide walks you through exactly how to add analytics to Framer, Webflow, and Notion in under 60 seconds each, using a simple script-based setup designed for speed and GDPR/CCPA compliance.
Why Lightweight Analytics Is Perfect for No-Code Sites
If you use Framer, Webflow, or Notion, your priorities are probably:
fast load times
clean design
minimal plugins
easy maintenance
privacy compliance
no complex dashboards
Google Analytics 4 doesn’t align with this. It’s heavy, complex, and often requires consent banners.
Lightweight analytics tools solve this by offering:
a tiny script (typically < 1KB)
no cookies
no consent banner needed
simple dashboards
instant setup
real-time traffic
Perfect for creators, founders, and small teams.
How to Add Analytics to Framer (2026)
Framer makes script installation extremely easy.
Step 1 — Copy Your Tracking Script
Your analytics tool will give you a small script, usually like:
Step 2 — Open Your Framer Project
Go to:
Settings → Site Settings → Code → Custom Code
Step 3 — Paste Into “Head” Section
Add the script to the Head area so it loads on all pages.
Step 4 — Publish
Hit Publish.
You’re live.
Tracking begins instantly—no extra configuration.
How to Add Analytics to Webflow (2026)
Webflow supports global site scripts the same way.
Step 1 — Copy Your Tracking Script
Step 2 — In Webflow, go to:
Project Settings → Custom Code → Head Code
Step 3 — Paste the Script
Paste the entire script snippet into the Head field.
Step 4 — Save & Publish
Press Save Changes, then Publish.
Done.
Traffic will begin syncing automatically.
How to Add Analytics to Notion Websites (2026)
Notion doesn’t support scripts natively, but most Notion-to-web tools do.
Depending on your provider:
If you use Super, Potion, Notion.so embeds, etc.:
Go to:
Settings → Code Injection → Head Injection
Paste:
Save → Publish.
If you use Notion directly (no wrapper):
You’ll need a tool that converts Notion pages into real web pages (Super, Potion, Feather, etc.) because Notion itself blocks scripts.
Lightweight analytics integrates perfectly with all wrappers.
Verifying That Analytics Works (Simple Checklist)
Within 5–10 seconds of visiting your site, you should see:
✔ Real-time visitor count
✔ Current page path
✔ Referrer (Direct / Social / Search / Referral)
✔ Device + browser
✔ Basic traffic numbers
If these appear—you’re good.
