Implement analytics that don't get blocked #54

Open cuibonobo opened 2 years ago

cuibonobo commented 2 years ago

I recently set up Cloudflare Web Analytics for this project, but uBlock Origin consistently blocks it. Technically analytics software is considered a tracker because the analytics provider could potentially track users across the web. It would be great if I could implement analytics that was local to my site and didn't enable cross-site user tracking.

Proxying Cloudflare's JavaScript is an easy way to get started. I looked at both Umami and Plausible and they both look good (Plausible seems more complete), but I'm not interested in hosting an additional server right now (or paying a monthly fee).

In the future it might be good to take a look at analytics and build a plugin based on whatever my server-side solution is.
