How do you guys monitor website traffic?

I was looking of a solution for a long while. Google analytics sucks these days. In the beginning it was an awesome system! Long, I've searched an alternative that was LIGHTWEIGT. That last part was the issue. What the fuck do people with their software? Finally, I've found umami. It's amazing. It shows even the city name from visitors and it shows a nice world map including statistics. Browsers used / desktop / laptop / phone / OS. It also shows debounce ratio (amount of people that run directly away after visit) and users currently online. It's all I could've ever wished for. Using it since yesterday and it's so decent and fast!

It's one of those products that makes me think "This is how I would've written it myself too". Happens sometimes. Same for gitea / cogs. Also such perfect products. There's still hope.

    This image reminds me of the good old days when every audio player had an equalizer.

    @Lensflare what's a music player? did you pay your subscription fee to an algorithmic feed that tells you what music you like?

    @jestdotty "what's a music player?" is this a serious question? Blows my mind. But I guess it was a late 90s thing when they came about.

    RealPlayer, Winamp are a couple. I remember Winamp having customizable skins. Basically like VLC for music.

    Winamp was the shit!
    It really kicked the llama's ass!

    @Demolishun Don‘t forget the downloadable visualizer plugins which made you trip balls without drugs!

    Before they were bought by Cisco, I was experimenting with Splunk. Prior to that, Omniture. Overpriced shit. Management wouldn't invest because log analytics was "enough".

    @fruitfcker

    "splunk" sounds like some inner city word.

    yo man, I was feelin' totally shredded. I squeezed a riester out and splunked all over the place.

    Could do some opentelemetry endpoint with a server lib to plug into it. Any cloud platform will provide an endpoint if you don't mind paying.

    I seriously still just use awstats (log file analyzer).

    Years ago I worked with the two guys who made Piwik, which was renamed to Matomo. I don't really like Javascript tracking, but it does seem pretty decent.

    You can always combine Awstats and Matomo to compare both web logs and JS tracking (see the tiny percentage of users who don't use JS or are crawlers)

    I tried Posthog on one of my web apps. It's not bad. Heard Fathom Analytics is also good, but it's not free. There was another one I recently saw, but can't remember what it was.

    @int32 will try, didn't heard that one before.

    Edit: both are saas. My point kinda is that they're quite simple applications in general and lightweight solutions should be many of. Glad that I finally found one that is beyond my expectations in functionality and simplicity of implementing the tag in your site. It's nearly zero config. The life online count is also a nice gimmic.

    2025... still using Winamp.

    OT: the stats system is very nice.

    Good info, easy on the eyes.

    @D-4got10-01 Nice! I might go back to mp3/flac because streaming is such ass

    @BordedDev Yeah. I don't stream music. I prefer mp3s.

    If I own CDs, I rip them for convenience.

    @D-4got10-01 winamp in cli is the most Linux thing ever! 😄

    @Lensflare Yup. Haven't seen better skins than this one.

    I have a DOS theme, too, but it's !as fun-looking as the one I have right now visible in that pic.

    The DOS theme is darker, though ;-) .

    I actually remember seeing a Winamp plugin for Total Commander.

    That one is cool, too.

    @int32 the one I stated in my post, umami. Blazing light and fast. Literally deployed within 5 minutes with compose and caddy on https. In less than ten minutes I had two sites connected to it. Look at dem stats, kinky or what? Last 24h.

    @retoor Shit my bad, that's the one I was thinking about that I couldn't remember the name of!
