How long history do you need in your analytics?

Most analytics data becomes stale after 6 months.

If you have a steady amount of visitors to your site all year-round, anything before the last 6 months is forgotten.

That does not mean that data from earlier is not interesting.

In the coming days I will write about use-cases of:

  • Data from last 6 months
  • Historical analytics data (anything earlier than 6 months)
  • Anonymization
