Ask HN: Self hosted stats?

1 point

8 years ago

I've been using mint [0] for a decade on almost every web property I own. It's fast, simple, and shows me the core of what I want to know instantly: VISITS, REFERRERS, and PAGES — number of visitors, recent general referrers (and if if one referrer is sending significantly more traffic than others), and highest viewed pages.

It lets you flip between day, week, and month view for each section without page reload. It's so fast. So, lightweight. I still haven't found an equivalent (development has been discontinued on it).

I've tried Matomo and it's just too heavy. Google Analytics feels like using a rocket to light a birthday candle.

Anything obvious I'm missing? Self hosted is preferable but not must have.
