Tinylytics
I’ve been tracking the number of visitors in my blog with Tinylytics. I originally went for a while without any analytics, but curiosity got the better of me. I didn’t want any heavy enterprise-grade stuff like Google Analytics, but rather some small and independent service, preferably hosted in Europe, so enter Tinylytics. It is pretty prominent in the indie web community, the basic version is inexpensive at $4/month, and it respects the privacy of the guests, so there’s a lot to like in it. You get a dashboard that shows you some high level stats like the country and the referrer domain of your guests. My site seems to get the most visits from Kagi, probably via their Small Web community. If you’re running a personal site without analytics, give Tinylytics a go!
