If you just want page views and referrers, then your webserver logs should have all the data you need already. There is no need to inject 3rd party JS or tracking pixels into your pages.
Personally I use GoAccess to visualise this data.
> GoAccess is an open source real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser.
> It provides fast and valuable HTTP statistics for system administrators that require a visual server report on the fly.

- Tenoke 5y agoOne of the places I use GA is on my blog which is hosted on Github Pages. There's no server (which I can access). Without js tracking (GA or not) what you've left with is something along the lines of putting it behind Cloudflare and seeing the little you get there. Ironically on the other hand, services like Cloudflare are also what makes server logs less useful in some cases - users might not hit your servers at all for you to record them there.
