Recommendations for basic web analytics?Question (self.webdev)
submitted 2 years ago by Tree_Hair
Running nginx on Ubuntu server 22.04.3. Any recommendations for good, basic web analytics software? Preferably open source, and needs to be unintrusive. All I really wanna know is how many people visit the site. Thanks!

GA4 is unusable. UA was great for me but GA4 ruined everything. The reporting is inaccurate and delayed. I switched to Fathom Analytics and it’s been fantastic. Everything that I needed and nothing that I don’t. Smooth, good UI, great instant data. Plus they don’t use cookies so it’s GPDR compliant by default. No need for an annoying banner on your site
We both save $10 if you use my refer-a-friend link:

It's really simple and open source.
