A single page view refers to each instance when a page on your website is displayed.
This includes every instance a page is loaded, by someone.
The monthly page views add up all these individual page loads over the course of one month.
You don’t have to keep track of specific users; you only need to count how many times any page is loaded on your server.
In my shop, you can choose the number of page views you need, starting from a minimum of 20k. The ‘k’ stands for thousand, and ‘m’ stands for million. For example, 60k is equivalent to 60 000, and 2m is equivalent to 20 000 000.
The easiest way to figure out your monthly page views is to check your server access log.
Your server automatically records every request made to it.
The monthly page views help you understand your web traffic.
Most hosting providers give you access to this information through their control panel.
This panel serves as a gateway for managing your server.
Alternatively, you can utilise a tracking script on your website.
The most commonly used one is Google Analytics.
However, there are other excellent options available that prioritise user privacy, such as Matomo.

This may differ from your panel; look for menu points like Awstats, Analytics or Web Traffic.
If your number of page views exceeds the limit specified on your invoice, you will need to upgrade your Web Licence. We will only charge you for the extra cost required to cover the higher page view level. Please contact us for further assistance.
It’s normal to be unsure about your web traffic when starting a new website.
You can buy an initial estimate of monthly page views.
After a month, you can upgrade your license to reflect your actual traffic.
The upgrade will only cost the extra amount needed to increase your monthly page views.
For instance, you could start with 20k and then upgrade to 500k page views.
As long as your monthly page views stay within the limit you purchased, you are good to go.
There are various national and international privacy laws in place, with the GDPR of the European Union being one of the most well-known examples.
When using my Web Fonts, you don’t need to worry about extra privacy compliance factors.
After you purchase a Web Licence for your web traffic, you place the Web Font on your server and link it to your website.
The Web Font files cannot send any data back to us.
Since you can track web traffic, including page views, using the server access log, you don’t need additional methods or tools.
This makes self-hosting fonts on your server a great way to ensure privacy compliance.
