Remove Google Analytics about website HOT 18 CLOSED

OKBE now uses version 2 of Fathom analytics. Welcome to give it a try.
@jbelien ?

Yes, definitely!
If you could generate a tracking snippet and give us access to the statistics, that would be awesome! 🎉

I did the same on all of my websites last weekend :P

I found this article who has some "leads" : https://opensource.com/article/18/1/top-4-open-source-analytics-tools
But is it really necessary to "track" those kind of analytics on our website ?

from website.

I'd like to have basic statistics available, but it doesn't need to be awesome.

@joostschouppe What kind of statistics do you need, so we can try to find an (open-source) replacement to Google Analytics ?

from website.

from website.

We have piwik / matomo. It works well.

Yes sure but we'll have to host (and maintain) it ourselves.
Seems a bit too much work for just some basic statistics about one website 😕

from website.

I ask around and Matomo seems the "only" solution.
But I don't want to have to host it and pricing starts at 7.5EUR per month which I think is too much for us to pay right now.

Can we just remove Google Analytics for now (and enable statistics again when we have a solution or money) ?

from website.

We could add something super simple like statcounter.com in the meanwhile?

from website.

I didn't know http://statcounter.com/ ; I'll have a look :)

from website.

Could you copy-paste here the code (see http://statcounter.com/default/) ?

Thanks :)

Maybe have a look at https://github.com/usefathom/fathom (thank @MichielLeyman)

@gplv2 has a Matomo instance up and running, and he would be happy if we used it. What do you think? Or is this something that Openknowledge Belgium already has by now?

from website.

Yes, OKBE is currently setting up its own.
I think it's easier/better to rely on OKBE instance.

from website.

We set up a fathom server and experimented with it, but it only tracks pageviews, so it's quite limited in functionality right now. No funnel view, no custom events, ...

If you can use the Matomo instance, I'd recommend doing so until we find something we're happy with at OKBE

from website.

I have a matomo installation ready and already used for grbtool ....
