Fathom Analytics
for VeloCMS

Fathom gives you a simple, one-page traffic dashboard, and states it does not use cookies. Enter your Site ID and VeloCMS injects the tracking script on every page of your blog.

Get started

What this integration does

Fathom Analytics is a script-injection connector: enter your Fathom Site ID in Admin → Plugins → Fathom Analytics, and VeloCMS injects a single deferred <script> tag pointing at cdn.usefathom.com/script.js with your site ID attached, on every page of your blog. Fathom states that it does not use cookies and does not track visitors across sites. Whether your site needs a visitor notice depends on your jurisdiction, so check with your own legal adviser. Your traffic dashboard, referrer breakdowns, and goal tracking all live in your Fathom account.

One-field setup

Paste your Fathom Site ID and save. No manual embedding or theme file editing required.

Cookie-free script

Fathom states it does not use cookies. Whether a visitor notice is needed depends on your jurisdiction.

Lightweight script

A small, deferred script tag that stays out of the way of your page's Largest Contentful Paint.

One clean dashboard

Fathom keeps its reporting to a single, simple traffic view — useful for a blog owner who wants signal, not a data warehouse.

Where to find it in admin

  1. 1
    Admin → Plugins → Fathom Analytics. Paste your Site ID (found in your Fathom dashboard under Sites → your site → Site settings).
  2. 2
    Save. The Fathom script starts loading on every page immediately.

Use cases

An indie blogger who finds Google Analytics overwhelming wants a single number — visitors this week — without wading through a multi-tab reporting suite. A privacy-focused newsletter writer picks Fathom specifically because it states it does not use cookies, and checks with their own adviser whether a visitor notice is still needed. A small agency running several client blogs on VeloCMS standardizes on Fathom across every tenant for consistent, lightweight reporting.
