ANALYTICS
Velocity2.5

Real-time web analytics platform with heatmaps and uptime monitoring.

Clicky ships meaningful bot-blocking improvements but ships infrequently—four entries over five months with no new analytical features.

◆Current state
Clicky is a real-time web analytics platform that has been running since 2007. The product ships infrequently; the four most recent entries span April through August 2026. The most substantive release adds User Agent-based bot filtering with new country-level controls. A threat intelligence false positive incident (July 2026) required user intervention to correct misclassification by external security vendors.
◆Where it's heading
Clicky is maintaining its existing feature set—bot blocking, affiliate programs, backlinks—without adding new analytical capabilities. The product appears in steady-state maintenance mode rather than active feature development. The backlinks spotlight post (April 2026) suggests the team is aware some features go unused, and is investing in documentation/education rather than new development.
◆Prediction
Clicky is unlikely to ship directional new features in the near term based on this cadence. The more likely moves are continued bot-blocking improvements and program-level incentives (affiliate credits) to retain its existing user base.
