I switched to Fathom at the start of the month and I'm really happy with it. There is a trade off when you opt for a privacy focused product but I think it's more than worth it.
Plus, I think the vast majority of companies overestimate the importance of the data they collect. Maybe there's some interesting insights buried in GA but if you aren't actually using them what difference does it make.
I respect my site's visitors so I use a monitoring system that I personally have no problem being tracked by. I block GA in Firefox so why should I subject my visitors to it?
- jmondi 5y agoI was running selfhosted fathom for several years. A few months ago, I decided I wanted to just defer that maintenance to a SaaS. I felt that fathom was just so expensive for any small use case… I couldn’t justify the cost. Ended up switching to a paid version of Plausible and I couldn’t be happier.
