FAQs
Why not use server-side middleware?
Originally this was the idea. It turns out that tracking from the backend, while powerful, also means you have to identify all kinds of requests not to track (assets, files, API calls, etc.). In the end, a simple client-side tracking script naturally accomplishes what we're looking for in a more straightforward way.
