If you're hosting a static site on shared infrastructure (e.g. github pages, S3) where access logs are hard to come by, you can achieve some level of statistics gathering using a 1x1 pixel GIF and putting a CDN in front of it, then putting the CDN logs through GoAccess. EDIT: this was a blog I loosely followed https://benhoyt.com/writings/replacing-google-analytics/ https://benhoyt.com/writings/replacing-google-analytics/ - one detail I forgot to mention is you have to do some post processing on the log files to get them into a format amenable for use by GoAccess etc, but it's not too difficult
