Nothing really wrong with PHP or Matomo, which is why I mention it as something I would recommend. But, it is a requirement for hosting Matomo.
I would pick a different stack today mostly due to wanting to try other stuff out, and not so much because something was broken about it. Website still loads faster than 99% of the internet today, and I'm happy with it.
- XCSme 3y agoMy point was that Matomo is PHP, but your website doesn't have to be on the same stack. Normally the analytics platform should be hosted on a separate server for performance and security reasons. For example, the demo dashboard of uxwizz.com runs on PHP/MySQL on a $5/mo VPS and it's faster than most analytics platforms, even those running on big cloud infrastructures, because for the low-traffic use-case the simpler the solution and technology, the better.
- okamiueru 3y agoI assumed that if you are self hosting, that you don't bother using a separate hosting provider for just analytics. I should probably not have suggested anything other than "matomo is nice". The technical requirements are fairly obvious, and my extra information was just easy to misinterpret. I'm sure people can figure it out. Have a nice day
