    Hi guys 👋 I'm looking for a free Google Analytics alternative for my side projects. I would like to stop using GA because of its complexity. I've found: - Open Web Analytics -> But I need to install it on my webserver, I'd like to have it as a third-party service. - counter.dev -> Something that I need but it has a lack of accuracy and very tiny functionality. What do you use instead of GA? Free alternatives. Thanks in advance 🙏

    GA4 is a bit easier to use than the old google analytics. You might want to check out Smartlook Qualitative Analytics too.

    Just give your mom a call and have her keep track of your site visitors. She's probably been waiting for an excuse to finally put that math degree to use😂 In all seriousness though, have you tried Matomo or Clicky?
    @bohdanvorona hmmmm i used Matomo for free on my server

    @realvladgolub I'd like to use analytics as a separate service :) AM I right that using your own server can potentially slow down speed? Also, do you use one server for several domains?
