Counter
Privacy-friendly web analytics that counts daily unique visitors and referrers for a website, served by a Go server backed by Redis.
Counter is web analytics for a website, built as a Go server with static assets. It counts unique visitors per day and referrers, and saves its data in Redis. The project runs a hosted service, and a self-hosted binary is available from a separate repository. Counter collects aggregated counts rather than per-user records.
Worth knowing
The self-hosted build is marked beta by its repository. The project’s FAQ says that, under the ePrivacy Directive, web analytics services including Counter need consent.
