Migrate off of Google Analytics #3
Comments
My criteria at the moment:
Expected traffic for my purposes is probably like... 100 visits per month. I should be able to find an option that is free or close to free, although I'm happy to pay/donate to support. I don't mind technical work to set things up, I guess, but a hosted solution would be nice so I don't have to worry about maintenance, updates, etc. Here are two useful lists
Looking through that list for hosted solutions that have free tiers, then:

It's apparent that some of my naive "nice to have" features are not privacy-respecting. For example, many of the privacy-forward analytics software track only the landing page and not all the pages loaded. This is better for the user. Thus "top pages" are not available, but "top landing pages" are. Cookie-less analytics has limitations, and I'm fine with that. counter.dev's documentation states:

I use self-hosted Matomo on a digital ocean droplet for louispotok.com -- I believe it meets all your criteria except cookies. This blog post with a setup for basic server-side analytics may also be useful. |
I've setup Matomo as a new resource on my utility server (pafnuty.com), and I'm testing out the integration. Should be good to go soon. |
I had some problems with the js tracker, but now resolved. For posterity: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/matomo-tracker-redirects-fail/20576/4 Marking this as done. |
Confirmed tracking is working after some months. |
FWIW I have been using plausible.io for work stuff and I quite like it -- paid and hosted, but very privacy conscious and the design is a lot simpler/nicer than matomo, which has a bunch of stuff I never use |
I'd like to move away from Google Analytics for web privacy and tracking reasons.
While I'm aware of alternatives like Matomo, I haven't yet investigated these options. If you are knowledgeable about these things, your input would be welcome.
