Why cookieless analytics fits WordPress
WordPress sites live or die on page weight and plugin sprawl, and the official Pulse plugin adds neither a bloated tag nor a database of visitor cookies. It injects one small, static, async script — which means it plays nicely with caching plugins and CDNs, since there is no per-visitor cookie to bust the cache. No theme edits, no functions.php surgery.
The bigger win is what you get to remove. A typical WordPress stack pairs Google Analytics with a separate cookie-consent plugin to stay lawful in the EU — two plugins, a banner on every page, and a steady stream of consent prompts. Pulse sets no cookies, so the consent plugin is simply unnecessary: fewer plugins, no banner, and a visitor count that is not gated behind an opt-in.
