  Thank you. This is so embarrassing.

    There's nothing embarrassing about it; I'm yet to see a WordPress based site which was able to withstand the Hug of ackerNews, though SuperCache should have helped. For a WordPress site, yours is slim and very fast.

  Not only that, but it also has 2 trackers on it (google analytics and carbonads). Hard to take this argument seriously.
  • nickheer 8y ago
    I don't use Google Analytics, and Carbon's script is restricted by my CSP to showing the display ad. They also have a reasonable privacy policy where they're not tracking users or generating libraries of behavioural data, as far as I know.

      Ah, you are right it is piwik. It was blocked by uBlock though and serves the same purpose (user tracking).
      • nickheer 8y ago
        Fair. I take what I think is a reasonable and respectful approach, though: it takes only a partial IP address (which I don't look at), it respects Do Not Track, it anonymizes as much as possible, and it's basically a glorified hit counter. It's pretty lightweight, it's the only analytics script I use, and it's localized rather than sending users' data to a giant company. This article should not be seen as an all-or-nothing approach. It's more the amount and type that concerns me.

    Still, his site is lightweight and loads quick.
