Any way to run this on a shared hosting with PHP/MySQL? If that works out somehow I would give this a try over Matomo, which is just "too big" for my use case.

Main contributor here. As long as you have Docker installed on the host, you're good to go. If you don't have it, you can install as follows: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

  Shared hosting doesn’t give you docker or root. You have a webroot that usually only supports PHP or static files.

If you want something smaller than Matomo that works on any shared hosting you can check out the platform that I'm building[0], it does have some extra features compared to the lighter Plausible, but you can disable those if you want to keep it simple.

  Is there anyway to compare visits from today to yesterday, or today to last week? I was thinking that it could be a filter on a segment, but it doesn't look possible when I tried the demo. Otherwise, I really like the look of usertrack.

    Thanks! There is no way to compare two date intervals in the UI yet, but the code is actually there, I only have to add some UI for it. I was thinking to just add a checkbox to enable "compare with last interval", so whatever segments you have selected, when the checkbox is enabled you would also see graphs of the previous period. Eg. You have chosen "last 2 weeks", it would comapre "last 2 weeks" with "minus 4 weeks, minus 2 weeks".

You could also have the option to only show the differences or at least highlight the differences as that is what you are probably trying to see.

        Agree, one thing that is missing now is the total numbers for the selected date interval. So if you select last 2 weeks, you see the graphs, but it doesn't show the total visitors in those last 2 weeks (unless you go to the main domains list). If I implemented the interval comparison and the display of visitor totals, it could also show +24% (compared to last interval) for stats like visitors, conversions, etc. I am planning to implement both of those features really soon (this month), but I am currently working on releasing a simpler analytics platform for WordPress, based on userTrack (https://wplytic.com https://wplytic.com), as the current pricing might be a bit too high for some WordPress users and they might also not need all the advances features of userTrack (heatmaps, session recordings, multi-user, multi-domains, A/B tests, etc).
