Publish per-page hit counts

[jpouellet]

It may be useful to those of us trying to improve the docs to know which pages to focus on first.

Publishing some minimal data such as:

<path> <hits in last month>
/ 3321
/intro/ 1024
/downloads/ 812
/doc/ 432
...
/doc/network-printer/ 14

would not invade privacy, and may be useful data to have.

If so I could provide a simple awk script or something.

I don't think we have access to any of this. I see only some aggregated data in Cloudflare (like total request count, total size etc). While I see how we could add such tracking functionality (easiest: include some 1px image downloaded from server where we have logs, and look at `Referer:` field), I think it is a bad idea to add such things on our website.

Indeed looks that way, so nevermind then. Perhaps this could be revisited if the site hosting infrastructure ever changes.
