  • Fathom Analytics

    Fathom Lite. Simple, privacy-focused website analytics. Built with Golang & Preact.

  • I absolutely love over-engineering this site. After months of procrastinating I finally rolled out my blog to this beautiful world. I stumbled upon this part of adding analytics and my needs were simple, lightweight, ethical, great if open-source and privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. So I signed up for Plausible , Fathom & Panelbear and started using them.

  • Umami

    Umami is a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics.

  • I didn't want to miss any other alternatives so I asked on Twitter on what people use in their sites and that's when I heard of umami. Here's a rough comparison of 4 of them.
