Summary: PostHog launches privacy-focused Web Analytics

Why It Matters: PostHog is moving beyond deep product tracking to compete directly with simple website tools like Google Analytics and Plausible. They are targeting users who want easy setup and cookieless tracking without the complexity of traditional data platforms.

What Changed:

• Added a dedicated Web Analytics product focused on pageviews, visitors, and bounce rates.
• Introduced a cookieless tracking option to help users avoid needing cookie consent banners.
• Added a detailed comparison table against Google Analytics and Plausible.
• Included new customer testimonials specifically highlighting the switch from Google Analytics.
• Integrated Web Analytics into the existing usage-based pricing model (free for the first 1 million events).
• Added a "broken link checker" tutorial for Next.js users.
