I briefly used Fathom and think they are great, especially if you are hosting a static site on something like Github pages, or some other equivalent. Yet I regret that I can't get free server-side analytics. My pages are being served by a server, I just want it to count logs for me. If I ever move back to a self-hosted solution, I'd definitely love to give something like goaccess[1] a try. Any static hosting sites that provide this for free today?

I've been looking for this as well (edit: meaning I want HTTP traffic info without running my own server). The closest I've found so far (for low traffic sites) is NearlyFreeSpeech.net, which provides HTTP logs. It's cheap, but not free (edit: roughly $2/month--and I think you can go even lower for a single personal site).

Have a look at shynet maybe? I've yet to use it myself but I'm planning on trying it. https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet

  +1 on shynet! I use it for my personal website and my blog, and it's been working great. I got it up and running with Podman, so no need to install and run the Docker daemon. I also fixed SQLite support [1], so no need for an additional DB server. I analyzed available open-source web analytics tools [2] and AFAIK there is simpler solution for web analytics that doesn't involve a third party.
