There has to be a simpler, privacy focused way to figure out pageviews, right? As long as I don't know _who_ looked at my site, I should be able to find out _how many_.
Similar thing goes for "how many people clicked this button"
Or am I way off here....
- newscracker 8y agoYou can self-host a free analytics solution like Matomo (formerly called Piwik) [1] and choose whether you're fine analyzing web server logs alone or want to track finer details by injecting JavaScript (provided in the solution) on your pages.

- antjanus 8y agoI've heard a lot of people coming to rely on back-end tracking because it can't be blocked by the client. I think this works especially well on a single page application because you can infer how a user interacted with the site solely based on API calls.
