For my wordpress websites i use WP Statistic plugin but it doesn't seem very accurate. What are you using to track your website visitors?

We are using LeadsNavi for visitors tracking, that is working well

Do you have a US-based traffic on your website?
There's this cool platform called RB2B which allows you to identify visitors on your website.
It's primary reason why I want to start focusing on US market more now with my low-code development agency. (ability to know exactly who is visiting your website and then approach on LinkedIn right away is quite amazing)

Matomo that’s running on my home k3s cluster

Visitor ID’s are randomized, I’m only interested on what page people are going to and how they got there

Happy to answer any questions

Do you think it's worth the complex setup? I went with seline.so - it's a very straightforward tool, and it's also privacy-centric.

Yeah I want to self host it because I’m a self hoster and wanted to store my visitors data on servers I can physically touch at home

I’ll have a look at seline tho, thanks

I use Cloudflare web analytics that comes proxied with domain with no setup and Plausible analytics. They both work pretty great. Cloudflare also has insights about robots, possible stopped attacks, bandwidth saved from cache etc, while Plausible is for more features that Cloudflare doesn't provide.

I use the Cloudflare statistics and we never run WP without a WAF and avoid plugins not written internally. Frankly we should probably move away from WP.

If you simply must use Wordpress, and the production site doesn't require any interaction beyond the Wordpress backend, consider having the full site in dev/staging and pushing a "Static" version of it to production (such as with wget --spider or some tool that can do this.)

I'm in the process of migrating from using webalizer to goaccess for my Apache logs, might be worth a look. For a quick analysis it can visually show a log with ncurses in a shell console. For a nice HTML view it can produce that too.
