"Vemetric was the easiest and most reliable way for me to set up analytics for my website and blog."

Braydon Coyer is a senior frontend engineer, blogger, and international public speaker. His website, which he affectionately calls his “Blogfolio,” serves as both a personal portfolio and a platform for sharing web development insights with the community.

Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, the Blogfolio is Braydon’s playground for experimenting with new ideas and pushing the boundaries of frontend development. His blog covers practical topics from Next.js guides to broader reflections on software craftsmanship.

Simple Setup, Immediate Results

When Braydon needed analytics for his Blogfolio, he wanted something that wouldn’t get in the way of his creative process. As a developer who values clean, intuitive tools, the setup experience matters.

”I LOVE how easy it was to setup, and the interface is very intuitive.”

For a personal project where time is precious, having analytics that just work without complex configuration is essential. Vemetric delivered exactly that: a straightforward integration that started tracking immediately.

Customer Service That Delivers

Beyond the product itself, Braydon highlights the responsiveness that comes with using a tool built by developers who care:

“The customer service is also second to none. I think I requested several quality of life improvements and you had it deployed within a few hours. Insane!”

When you’re running a personal site, you don’t expect enterprise-level support. But that’s exactly what makes the difference: having someone that listens and ships fast.

Understanding Where Visitors Come From

One feature Braydon finds particularly valuable is the Top Sources section. For a content creator with posts shared across various platforms, knowing which channels drive the most traffic is essential for understanding what resonates with readers.

The dashboard shows exactly where visitors are coming from, whether it’s search engines, social media, newsletters, or other websites linking to his content. Combined with Vemetric’s filtering functionality, Braydon can drill down into specific referrers and analyze traffic patterns in detail.

This makes it easy to see which blog posts get picked up by the community, which platforms are worth investing time in, and where new readers are discovering the Blogfolio.

The Perfect Fit for Creators

For developers, bloggers, and creators running personal projects, the choice of analytics tool often comes down to simplicity and reliability. Braydon’s experience shows that you don’t need to sacrifice features for ease of use.

Whether you’re tracking blog post performance, monitoring portfolio traffic, or just curious about who’s visiting your site, having analytics that stay out of your way lets you focus on what matters most: creating great content.
