Hi @louiswalch,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m really sorry about the frustration here.
It’s not our intent to cause clutter with the notifications. We try to provide as much value as possible to our users by communicating the Pro version features because a lot of users aren’t aware of them and can benefit greatly.
With our Lite (free) version, you’re able to track and view critical site statistics (such as page views in the last 30 days, top posts and pages, etc) and automatically track custom events such as telephone and email click tracking, affiliate, and outbound link tracking.
Additionally, ExactMetrics aims to add as little overhead as possible on the front-end for your visitors.
We load the Google Analytics script directly from Google because it’s usually cached in your visitors’ browsers, as it’s used on millions of sites.
Besides that, our frontend tracking features script is optimized and just 9kb in size. Very specific tracking functionality is only loaded where needed.
On the admin side, our interface is fully built using a modern JavaScript framework that makes it fast to load async without using up a lot of resources.
We really appreciate you for giving us a try and if you have any suggestions for the things you’d like to see in the Lite version, please let me know and I’d be happy to share your feedback with the team.
And if you’d like more help with using ExactMetrics Lite, please feel welcome to reach us at https://www.exactmetrics.com/lite-support/
Thank you.
