The difference
A view count is not a verdict.
Every other tool hands you a leaderboard and lets you guess what it means. Pulse reads the page and tells you what it is.

The technical check you keep postponing.
No separate SEO tool, no monthly add-on. Every page you publish gets audited alongside its analytics: titles, meta, headings, images, structured data and every outbound link.
- Per-page score with the exact fixes, ranked by what actually moves the page.
- Link checker: every link crawled, redirects resolved, broken ones surfaced.
- Re-run on demand, so you can confirm a fix landed before moving on.

Metrics that fit writing
Built for blogs, not funnels.
No goals, no e-commerce events, no 400 reports you'll never open. Pulse answers the four questions a writer actually has.
Content, not pages
Rank, share of views, multiple of the average post. Compare posts against each other, not against your homepage.
Where readers come from
RSS readers, newsletters, search and social networks, including the traffic other tools drop as "direct".
Do readers click your links?
Outbound clicks ranked by share, plus a link checker that flags broken links and redirects before readers hit them.
Counting is the easy half
You still get every number you came for.
Views, sessions, referrers, countries, devices, live readers. The tracker part is table stakes, we just refuse to stop there.
