nice to see a alternative to https://plausible.io/. UI looks a little rough in comparison, but that's maybe more a matter of taste.
I was after something like this a while ago. Settled on Umami https://umami.is/. Great projects!
For WordPress sites I recommend Koko Analytics.
Koko Analytics is really good when:
* You don't have much technical knowledge (eg: self-host GoatCounter).
* Want a really basic and simple way to see traffic data in a privacy respecting way.
* Want to use a open source, maintained tool with no "Go Pro" up-sell annoyances and no big changes across the years.
* Want to own the data on your server and don't phone any third party server.
I'm using it for some years now with no complains :)

For some basic analytics a la "I want to know which of my blog posts are read the most", I highly recommend GoAccess[1]. It doesn't require JavaScript and uses access logs instead. There are of course some pros and cons of that approach. When I've migrated from Google Analytics a few years ago, I've ran both at the same time for a while, and the relative numbers were pretty close.
