Advanced bot blocking

​

June 2025 updates

• Region data is here: You can now see states, provinces, and other regions where your visitors are located, in it’s own dedicated ‘Region’ tab. Read more about that release here
• Operating System data is also here: We’ve added OS data to the Device Types box, so you can now see whether your visitors are using Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and more. You can also read more about that release here
• Enhanced security: More super secret security stuff that keeps Fathom extra safe from attackers
• Google Analytics import fix: Fixed an issue that was causing GA imports to fail for some customers
• Shared dashboard options fix: Fixed the missing Show/Hide GA data option on shared dashboards
• Infrastructure improvements: We made some database optimisations to improve performance and migration handling
• Cleaner codebase: Moved all admin code into its own directory for better organization and maintainability
• Updated bot detection: Upgraded our crawler detection library to catch more bots and keep your data clean
• Enhanced IP blocking: Backend change that improves IP blocking management across our infrastructure

​

May 2025 updates

• Fixed missing “Refs” tab: Shared dashboards now display the Refs tab when it’s enabled (whoops!)
• Improved data export clarity: The “Goals” export is now labeled as “Events” to keep our terminology consistent and avoid confusion
• Fixed UTM campaign filtering: UTM campaigns names with leading spaces now filter correctly instead of returning no data
• Enhanced 2FA security: Strengthened our two-factor authentication implementation
• Fixed timezone edge-case: We had attempted SQL injections (don’t worry, our security is world class so they failed in their attempts) which were using an unknown timezone that was causing a lot of errors in our logs. This is already handled for human visitors as we would default to UTC. We now do the same for whatever these strange requests are to prevent a further barrage of errors.
• Improved billing form UI: The country field validation was causing some shifting in the input fields, which made the UI look a bit off. We’ve improved both the validation and the layout, so everything now behaves and looks much better.
• Fixed Entries sorting: Sorting by “Entries” in the Pages tab no longer breaks the Domains tab. We now reset the sort to the default when switching to the Domains tab.
• Resolved filtering errors: Fixed HTTP 500 errors that occurred when applying an event filter after sorting by a pageview-only metric (like “Views”).
• Clearer onboarding emails: Updated Day 29 email wording to clearly state whether you’re on a yearly or monthly plan
• Fixed API edge-case: Resolved a very specific issue affecting a customer with a lot of sites, where the sheer number of sites was causing 502 errors.
• Test improvements: Various test improvements to keep everything running smoothly

​

April 2025 updates

• Added Czech Crown (Kč): It’s now available to select as a new currency option for events
• Improved email reports: Multi-domain sites now show domain names in the “Most viewed pages” section of the weekly site email report
• Fixed graph dragging: We’ve disabled dragging on the graph when viewing single-day data, since you can’t drill down further than hourly
• Improved Event Conv. Rate tooltip: It now clearly explains how event conversion rates are calculated
• Fixed the referrer pathname filter: You can now click anywhere on the bar to filter by referrer pathname, not just the text
• Fixed a mobile-only Site Settings bug: Site names were previously showing as “[object Object]” in the sites list
• Fixed Firewall input text selection: You can now properly select text in the input fields (turns out the highlight colour was set to white — oops!)
• API Events fix: Sorted out the API issue where you couldn’t request event data using Event Names
• Code cleanup: Moved all our admin code into its own tidy directory. Much cleaner and easier to maintain
• Improved overage email messaging: It’s now much clearer about next steps if you happen to experience a one-off traffic spike
• Dependency updates: Updated Axios and reviewed other dependencies to keep everything running smoothly and secure
• Minor All Sites UI improvement: Sites with current visitors are now highlighted for better visibility
• Improved data handling: Centralised how we handle pageview and event modifications, so there is now one place to rule them all, which makes everything more reliable

​

• Blocking more bot IP addresses at the firewall level
• Added support for referrer_source in API aggregation grouping and filtering

• Improve automated tests
• Hide draft invoices from invoices page

​

January 2025 updates

• We’ve been working on a new ingest system to handle millions of requests per second. This is a huge innovation for Fathom and requires lots of work to get it right. We will be sharing more about this soon

• Fixes on API aggregation endpoint for certain edge cases
• Email report link fix
• Late last year, Paul retired, and Jack took the reigns of Fathom
• Fixes to UTM bar colour (or color, for our US friends), so it now makes sense
• Database simplification for referral codes
• Fixed “Date To” on export to be end of day(), not startOfDay()
• We added various admin tools to make our support department more efficient in solving billing-related pieces
• Fixed chart tooltips
• Improved testing speed and paid down various pieces of technical debt

​

New site config settings

​

UTM/Referrer attribution improvements for event completions

1. If an event doesn’t have a referrer or UTM on the initial pageview on your site, none will be tracked (since the initial pageview didn’t have referral data) for event completions.
2. If an event has a referrer or UTM on the initial pageview, that referrer or UTM will be forever associated with any event completion that happen afterwards, even if new referrers or UTMs happen during that 24hour perior.
3. For developers: If auto tracking is turned off for pageviews, the referrer or UTM on that submitted trackEvent will be used. None will be used if none were present on the first submitted trackEvent.

​

A brand new look for Fathom Analytics

​

Version 4 became a journey

​

The first piece of the V4 puzzle is the interface

​

The choices we’ve made

​

Under the hood

​

What’s next

​

Introducing: traffic sources

• Direct – no referrer present
• Paid/Campaign – from online ads (Google/Bing)
• Organic – from search engines or other sites naturally
• Social – from platforms like Twitter/X or Facebook

​

Updated email reports

1. For single site reports, we now surface the top 3 most visited pages, top referrers and even top events for that site.
2. For multi-site reports, we now surface totals for all the sites included, similar to the totals bar on your dashboard: visitors, views, average time on site, bounce rate, total event completions and even total value of each event (broken down by currency).

​

New year, brand new website

​

Sort by first column

• Sort by first column: you can now sort by the first column in data boxes (ASC and DESC).
• Various speed improvements and data optimizations, plus current visitor was completely upgraded
• Daily tooltip formatting now includes day of the week
• API is now rate limited to manage our resources better. We’ve had to put this into place on our API as we noticed we were getting flooded with requests from a handful of customers and it was impacting our database performance for all customers.

​

v3.5

• We’ve added comparisons: so you can now compare any date range with any previous date range. Not just in the totals, but for every row of data! You can turn it off by selecting “No comparison” again.
• We’ve added “click to unfilter”: so if you add a filter, that will be highlighted in the box the filter is for, and you can now click it again to remove that filter.
• Our chart can now be grouped: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly - customizable by you (in the dropdown beside compare).
• We slapped a fresh coat of paint on the dashboard too, so it looks 13.94% more spiffy.

​

No more uptime monitoring

• Uptime monitoring is going away. Details
• Tons of small bug fixes and quality of product updates

​

Current visitors speed

• Improvements to invoices page. Easy way to see & pay failed invoices
• Huge database migration along with ingest improvements
• Fix chart formatter for Y axis
• API error message & validation improvements
• Added Danish Krone
• Timezone fixes for dashboard due to renaming of Kiev
• Huge improvements to current visitors speed (no, seriously, it’s so fast now)
• Moved our status page to Atlassian: https://status.usefathom.com/

​

Google Analytics importer

​

Direct and unknown referrers added

• Fixed bug where L wouldn’t close date picker
• Fixed chart zoom on shared dashboards
• Switched minimum date om date picker
• Remove https:// or http:// from the URL when filtering by referrer or domain
• Introduced Direct / Unknown to Referrers box (Finally! It took a while as we had old data to account for. Remember, Fathom has been on the scene for many years)
• Domain Stats fix (for multi-domain websites)
• Deprecated pathname_raw in data export (we don’t use this anywhere else). We will delete this in July as it’s from the past.
• An absolute TON of work on our Google Analytics Importer (coming this month)

​

Firewall settings

​

Other updates/fixes/improvements

• Introduced blocked pages and the Firewall section of site settings, allowing you to block pages, countries, IPs and allow domains.
• Pushed various bug fixes, tweaks to make Fathom incrementally better.
• Moved allowed domains, blocked countries and blocked IPs to ingest our end. We used to handle this in the network firewall, where we’d return a 403, but this confused people.
• Fix a pagination bug where we only ordered by the aggregation. We needed to order by the aggregate and then some kind of A-Z value
• Continued work on our Google Analytics importer
• Dashboard CSS & font upgrades (they’re beautiful)
• Show 0 on email reports instead of ”-” when there’s been no increase

​

Keyboard shortcuts

• Introduced hotkeys on the dashboard

​

New year, new improvements

• Reset pagination when changing tabs in dashboard
• Refactor on currencies and added support for rand
• Improvements on country searching
• Added support for ?via in query string of URLs
• Deployed a function to update GeoIP file on deployment to keep it up to date

​

Like filters

• Laravel Tips section is now live!
• Big improvements to difference labels in the totals box
• Added UTC data to our demo to show off what Fathom can do
• Uptime monitoring improvements
• New currency: Vietnamese dong
• Improved site picker search
• You can now add a LIKE filter (search filter) to your events box (well, the whole dashboard)
• Extended trial length from 7 days to 30 days. This is important because people need more time to play with analytics and see how much better Fathom is than their current solution ;)
• Reverted Base64 changes in script.js
• Add easier way to copy API key
• Improvements to how we deploy & serve our script.js (and historical) JavaScript files. We removed some rules from our CDN so performance will be even faster now too.

​

Event filters

• Event filters are live! So you can now filter your dashboard by event completions 🥳
• Huge refactor of the date range core. This won’t mean much for a lot of people but we’ve improved how we handle date ranges throughout Fathom
• All time date range now shows the actual start date of the site

​

Dotted lines for incomplete chart data

• Cal.com created a Fathom Analytics app (to collect data from your scheduling link on Cal.com)
• You can now search your sites from the dropdown on your dashboard. For those of you with lots of sites, there’s also now pagination in that dropdown.
• The chart now shows a dotted line when the data is incomplete (i.e. you’re looking at today and there’s 12 hours left in the day). That way you can better see if there’s a drop in stats vs just incomplete stats.

​

Added new currencies to events

• Added Thai Baht and NOK Norwegian Krone as event currencies
• Additional work on some secret projects

​

Date picker improvements

• Dashboard Date picker improvements
• All Sites improvements (server-side ordering)
• Working on some secret projects
• Internal tool improvements

​

Dashboard re-write finished

• Launched our dashboard (well, entire app) re-write in Inertia.js & Vue.js to help us move faster as we scale and bring in more software engineers

​

Dashboard re-write

• Added slight delay to notification emails, as they were slowing down the database (suffering from success!)
• Continued working on dashboard re-write to Inertia.js & Vue.js

​

A need for speed

• Dark mode fixes
• Additional query optimizations for dashboard (we have a need for speed)
• Added token endpoint to API
• Added support for event currency via API
• Working on dashboard re-write to Inertia.js & Vue.js

​

Box search feature

• Improved speed of dashboard
• Fixed bounce rate in email when value was 0%
• Timeouts increased for API queries
• Added sorting to goals box
• Upgrade to goals box, allowing easier creation of goals and customization of currency
• Gorgeous new tab interface for editing sites
• Fixed a bug where multiple requests would sometimes fire on dashboard despite some boxes not being ready (you won’t notice this one but it improves speed!)
• Added ability to inject non-numeric Site ID into the ?site query string parameter on the dashboard. Useful for folks that are using our API
• Upgraded the search feature in the dashboard boxes. You can now search for a value and we will filter all boxes, not just the box you search in. This has also been added to the API as IS LIKE and IS NOT LIKE
• Added an RSS feed to our status page

​

UTM builder + codebase refactor

• Launched our new UTM Builder
• Launched gigantic codebase refactor which included all of our technical debt fixes. A huge technical achievement that most customers won’t notice, but it lays the groundwork for essential development over the next few years

​

Automated tests added

• Change the way that blocked countries work behind the scenes
• Continued work on technical debt with 700+ automated tests being added

​

Google Analytics is illegal and Fathom isn’t

• Worked on paying down some technical debt throughout the codebase
• The Austrian DPA declared that Google Analytics is illegal, so we spent a few weeks responding to that, and dealing with a flood of new customers. We are the only analytics company on the market who offers EU Isolation without slowing down your website for US visitors, so everyone was choosing Fathom. We took the Schrems II ruling seriously back in 2020, worked hard to implement something in response to it, and our work was rewarded.
• Allow Site ID to be set dynamically via fathom.setSite(‘SITEID’) in our JavaScript file

​

Newsletter, DPA and terms updates 🎅

• Worked on launching the Fathom Newsletter
• Launched new terms & our new Data Processing Agreement
• And honestly, we took it easy throughout December. We’ve been working hard this year and took December to calm down, recharge and strategize.

​

Dedicated CDN endpoints

• We now offer you dedicated CDN endpoints, allowing you to block yourself, allow certain domains, and also have rapid performance around the globe. This is a huge innovation and we’re so proud to have launched it
• Moved our background queue back to serverless environment (so much better for us)

​

EU Isolation

• Launched our monthly newsletter
• Launched a brand new affiliates page, with much more detail
• Added error messages to our analytics API to help with development (sorry it took so long, early access folks)
• Fixed bounce rate colour (🇬🇧) in emails. Again, sorry this one took so long, it’s been on the list for a while
• Brand new error pages, which we hope you never see
• We completely migrated our ingest point to a new CDN provider. Previously, our script.js file was served globally, but the actual ingest was in the US, meaning it was slower for folks who weren’t in the US. Well now our ingest point (pageview/event collector) is globally available, meaning your TTFB (nerd term, sorry) will be much lower, and you can let the local edge perform the slower request using their enterprise network. Long story short, everything is faster and more distributed. Watch this space, because we’re about to launch something even more incredible.
• Fixes to dashboard boxes on mobile
• Deprecated user agent from being read on the client of the script.js file (ePrivacy Directive requirement)
• Launched EU Isolation. A gigantic innovation in the privacy-first analytics space.

​

Introduced entries to the dashboard

• Introduced “Entries” to the dashboard
• Changed terminology and added tooltips to all table headers on the dashboard.
• Fixed filtering of blanks to factor in NULL values
• Moved away from using updates in our pageview ingest queries, making it super scalable (it’s now append only). Non-technical customers won’t fully understand this but it was a HUGE upgrade for us, and ensures we can continue to scal
• Dropped Redis caching and moved to a faster cache database
• Fixed remember me not remembering you (sorry about that folks!)
• Dark mode fixes in Firefox
• General UI improvements
• Dropped DynamoDB completely (read more here)
• Improved queue speed to ensure even faster real time data
• Huge optimizations to current visitors performance, making it much faster for folks who don’t have the box expanded. Win for users, as it means we don’t load extra data that they’re not needing, and it’s a win for our database CPU ;)
• Fixed dashboard issue where the pagination icons wouldn’t change as you went between sites
• Launched multi-tennant analytics BETA, meaning you can have a single site dashboard for hundreds of thousands of unique site names.
• Fixed client side versioning so that it’s automatic, not manual, when we deploy (huge for us, users won’t notice)
• Launched a gorgeous new features page
• Fixed asset deployment to hook into our new CDN set-up

​

BIG database migration

• Implemented profanity checker for Site ID random generator (long story)
• Changed “today” comparison to compare with the previous day up to the current hour
• We no longer observe replaceState in our javascript file, as it was causing problems for lots of frameworks.
• BIG database migration. We now have the fastest website analytics in the game. Seriously, test our dashboard against others. Throw hundreds of millions of pageviews at us, and our dashboard will still be rapid!
• Launched API early access. Want in? Email us.
• More optimizations to our dashboard, including utilizing SingleStore for caching
• Added abilities to API tokens, so that you can create read only, admin or “tracking only”
• Introduced insight into usage within the billing section, so you can easily monitor pageviews/events/api calls
• Paid down so much tech debt. Developers, you know how it is, and you know how good it feels
• Migrated to new dashboard provider, and placed it behind a new firewall & CDN. It’s much faster and more protected now
• Added a Roadmap section

​

New, live demo

• Launched new demo and demo website. Fun project.
• Added custom social sharing graphics to public dashboards. So if you share your public dashboard on Twitter, a gorgeous graphic with your site name is used
• Big refactor to the way we collect pageviews. We’ve been growing fast, and we’ve modified things to be able to handle even more pageviews. This was phase one, and the gain has been huge, but phase two is going to be the biggest leap we’ve ever made. Keep an eye on our Twitter & changelog, as we’ll surely share more when it happens
• Fix bug where boxes would flash (and reload) two times
• Added locking at visitor level. Long story short, if someone was refreshing a page really fast, it could cause issues. Very rare edge case but we wanted to add in “locking” (or reserving) to improve the accuracy of your analytics
• Added link back to dashboard on settings page
• Fixed some dark mode color issues
• Fixed legend on graph
• Made it more obvious that the UTM box is… the UTM box ;)

​

v3 launch

• Re-added hash to path for SPA hash mode
• We’ve been working on event/entry page filtering. No ETA yet but it’s been a good chunk of work
• We launched our new website!
• We launched a new version of Fathom (formerly known as V3)
• We’ve redirected all V3 early access links to the main Fathom application. So if you’ve shared any dashboards with your clients using veethree.usefathom.com, don’t worry, we’ve got your back!
• All sites view has draggable sites again
• Ditched Redis, and moved to using DynamoDB (follow @JackEllis on Twitter if you’re wanting to follow our data journey, as we’re very public about our work)
• Chart updates from “Tiny Wings” style to a straight one

​

All sites feature

• Added iOS icon (if you save your dashboard to your homescreen)

• ​

  of currents switches to # of filters when filtering

• You now have an “All Sites” option in your site selector. This page lets you view all of your sites at once, change the reporting periods, and monitor current visitors
• Previously, “Last 7 days” would show a breakdown by hour. We’ve changed it so anything that’s 2+ days will group by day. You can drag & zoom in if you want to see an hourly breakdown
• You can now plot Avg time on site, Bounce rate and Event completions on the graph. This is really useful to see performance over time (e.g. is my bounce rate improving on my registration page? Are my event completions on the rise? etc.). To plot these, simply click the metric in the top, black box
• You can now click the figures in the totals box to switch from absolute increase mode (e.g. pageviews +10 since last period) to percentage change mode (e.g. pageviews +10% since last period)
• The whole left column is now clickable to filter. Previously you had to click the text to filter
• Fixes to current visitors to ensure correct use of grid system
• When there are no events, we now hide “Events completions” from the top black box
• Added event completions to the All Sites view
• Added delta (increase or decrease) to All Sites view
• Added Y axis to All Sites view
• Added pagination to child rows (paths) of Referrers
• Various other bug fixes & implementing customer feedback

​

v3 Early access

​

Analytics database migration finished

​

​

Spam protection and data migration

• Worked on data migration for Version 3 (we’re moving to a much faster data store)
• Improved chart x-axes ticks on dashboard
• Converted a single, big dashboard request into multiple, faster ones. This was a huge refactor but the benefits are already being seen
• More brand updates, including brand new cat drawings (done by Paul)
• Improvements to our spam protection system

​

DDoS attack

• Built admin functionality for clearing spam traffic
• Moved current visitors from MySQL to DynamoDB to ensure faster performance
• Fixed “Not a number” error on brand new events
• We received expert guidance on configuring our firewall to protect our application from DDoS attacks
• Added application level spam protection
• Removed old code that was no longer in use

​

Phantom Analzyer

• Switched previous range from using -1 month to using the actual previous date range
• Optimizations to event tracking
• Deployed some basic spam protection
• Made significant progress on one of our secret projects
• Launched Phantom Analzyer - a simple, real-time website scanner to see what invisible creepers are lurking in the shadows and collecting information about you.
• Added new branding
• More technical debt tidying

​

Technical debt reductions

• Tidied up some technical debt. Specficially, we removed some excess deprecated to improve page speed.
• We removed support for ?utm_source and ?ref temporarily. We never actually announced this but we were breaking out the ?ref and placing it in referrers. The downside is that you then lose the referrer value. So our recommendation, for those who noticed the experiment, is to just keep ?ref in place. We’ll be “pulling it out” when we move to Version 3!
• Started denormalizing hundreds of millions of stat entries ahead of our move to Elasticsearch
• We now hide the events box on your shared dashboards if you don’t have any events set-up
• Speaking of shared dashboards, you can now hide the purple promotional banner. If you hide it, you don’t get the chance to earn 25% comission on people you refer, but some people are fine with that.
• You can now configure invoices to go to multiple people, not just your account email. This is great if you have an accountant or boss who needs the invoices.
• Fixed an issue where Current Visitors would fire, continuously, when Fathom has logged you out. You wouldn’t have noticed this, but we did, so we now redirect you to the login page once you lose your session.

​

Database and speed improvements

• Removed the stats chart from mobile. Don’t worry, we’ll be adding it back in Version 3
• Improvements to our database IOPS after one customer’s analytics went super viral. We’ll be moving to DynamoDB in Version 3 but this is a great solution for now
• Improvements to database indexing, speeding up current visitors queries etc.
• Limit current visitors to 150 pages as some customers were seeing thousands of entries (first world problem!)
• Improved speed of data aggregation
• Added total pageviews on hover. So if you see 1.1k in one of your rows, hover over it to see the actual figure
• Added extra security to outbound links (noopener)
• We now have a YouTube channel. But we only have one to reach an audience that is already using it. For others, we built a privacy-focused shield page that requires your consent before you visit YouTube. Radical? Perhaps. But we like it.
• We wrote a ton of automation for various things to free up development time. This doesn’t affect you (or excite you) in the slightest, I’m sure, but it’s a win because it allows us to spend more time building Fathom

​

New Fathom cats

• Our Fathom cats are now fully custom, and fully owned by us. Thanks Natalie @ SaltFlat Studios!
• We now grab the visitor country from the IP. Previously we used the timezone to establish it. We use a locally hosted database to match the IP to country and we never send the IP to a third party service.
• Tidied the sites table up as it was getting out of control with all the new features we’ve been adding
• Added additional configuration for uptime monitoring. You can now customize the Check Interval and Notify After setting
• After Cloudflare went crazy and broke the internet, we added throttling to our uptime monitoring feature. This way, you won’t get flooded with up/down notifications

​

Support guides for installing our embed script

• Moved our data collector & dashboard to edge-optimized set-up, meaning faster performance globally
• Introduced a much more simple tracking code, with lots of goodies
• Added support guides for installing Fathom in Ember.js, Gatsby.js, Ghost, Next.js, Nuxt.js, Webflow, Vue.js and Other SPAs
• Deployed a gorgeous refactor to our aggregator. This will mean nothing to you, unless you’re nerdy like us, but we moved our thread locks from MySQL to DynamoDB
• You can now stop your analytics from tracking you. And guess what? You don’t have to use a browser plugin or have a static IP!
• Removed that external image from emails we send you. Our logo now comes as an attachment instead
• Added the data export feature back but with so many improvements. Most people didn’t care about this feature, since they have no plans to leave Fathom, but we needed to get this back online
• Fixed a dashboard problem that would log you out if you clicked from another site / email

​

Uptime monitoring

• Added uptime monitoring to all plans at no extra cost (NOTE: this has now been removed)
• Added support for ?ref in URLs. So you can override the referrer. Great for tracking campaigns / sources

​

New podcast and malware fixes

• We had our application reported as malware. We quickly contacted all relevant tools that were reporting us as malware and got them to remove us from their blacklists. We’ve added real time SSL monitoring and this won’t happen again.
• Added a new section for our podcast.

​

Huge aggregation refactors

​

Weekly and monthly email reports

• Automate account locking if a user’s invoice is unpaid for 1+ month. Less admin work = more time for the product
• Automated affiliate payouts to save admin work
• Released email reports weekly / monthly etc.

​

Introducing affiliate accounts

• Updated logout to be current device only, not all devices
• Improved “Update credit card” process for failed payments
