# DataFast

> Revenue-first web analytics tool built for founders and online businesses

DataFast is a lightweight analytics platform created by Marc Lou that focuses directly on revenue attribution rather than vanity pageviews. It tracks customer journeys from first touch to checkout, including resolving shortened X (t.co) redirect links to track specific tweets driving sales. It also includes an interactive real-time 3D globe showing live visitor traffic and transactions.
