I use Google Analytics for that, but any other similar service will do. You just need to own the web page to put Google Analytics on it.

I’m very glad for this! 😄

Added to the post, please check it out.

AFAIK it does not re-compile if `Manifest.toml` stays the same. But this info would be very important from day-to-day use of our package.

`Manifest.toml` shouldn’t be manually edited. I think you are right about re-compiling, but I’d need confirmation for that info from someone more experienced. If someone is up to it, they could actually write a post about compiling in Julia.  
Edit: for anyone wondering about the same issue, there is a thread about it: [Is it correct that it recompiles packages every time a new REPL is opened?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-it-correct-that-it-recompiles-packages-every-time-a-new-repl-is-opened/30266).
