Most link-in-bio tools lock features behind expensive monthly subscriptions and look generic. Luxury Link-in-Bio fixes this. It’s an ultra-lightweight, self-hosted engine powered by pure PHP 8+ and JSON (zero database setup). What makes it stand out: • 4 unique visual themes switchable in 1-click (Cyberpunk, Quiet Luxury, Y2K Acid, Glass Aurora). • Private password-protected cPanel. • Invisible, cookie-free click analytics. Just drag & drop it onto your server to fully own your traffic.
How does the cookie-free analytics actually track clicks without any user identifiers, and is there any built-in way to export that data or does it just stay stored in the JSON file?

Hey Elifnur! Thanks for diving into the tech side, love this question! 🕵️♂️
To track clicks without cookies or user identifiers, the system uses a purely event-based approach. Every time a link is clicked, it just increments a counter paired with the specific link ID or date inside the JSON file. No IP hashing, no user-agent fingerprinting—just pure, anonymous aggregate metrics. It respects privacy 100% by design.
Right now, the data stays inside that local JSON file, but since it's standard JSON, you can easily download it via FTP or your file manager to use it anywhere else. That being said, adding a direct 'Export to CSV' button in the admin dashboard is a fantastic idea and would be super easy to implement. I'm adding it to the roadmap right now! 📊
Love the zero-database approach, makes self-hosting so painless. One thing that would take this further for me is a simple custom domain mapping feature with automatic SSL, so I can serve it on my own subdomain without touching the web server config. That would round out the full ownership story nicely.

Hey! Thanks a lot for the kind words. Love that you appreciate the zero-database architecture!
Regarding custom domain mapping and automatic SSL: since this is a pure PHP, dependency-free package designed to run anywhere from a basic cPanel to a simple FTP storage, server-level SSL automation is out of the standalone script's scope. Most users currently handle this via Cloudflare or their hosting provider's 1-click Let's Encrypt setup.
However, that's a brilliant idea to round out the full ownership experience. I'm actually thinking about cooking up a tailored Cloudflare tunnel guide or a lightweight Docker container bundled with an Nginx reverse-proxy to handle automated subdomains and SSL right out of the box for advanced self-hosters.
Thanks for pushing the project forward🚀
The "Quiet Luxury" theme is such a tasteful move, and shipping cookie-free analytics as the default feels like real respect for the user. Clean craft on both fronts.

Hey Efe! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🙏
You nailed exactly what I was aiming for. I feel like today's web is bloated with popups and aggressive trackers. Going for that 'Quiet Luxury' aesthetic combined with zero-cookie privacy just felt like the right, respectful way to build a personal link-in-bio in 2026.
Knowing that fellow makers appreciate this dual focus on clean design and clean ethics means a lot to me. Thanks for the support! 💎✨
