Umami
Privacy-focused website analytics that can replace Google Analytics for many small sites
Editor's Take
Umami is one of the easiest recommendations in open source analytics because it solves a real pain: most website owners do not need a giant enterprise analytics suite. They need clear traffic numbers, useful events, and a dashboard that does not require a course to understand. The self-hosted option gives teams more control, while the product remains simple enough for indie makers and content site owners. It is a strong fit for the next-happy.com style of lightweight, SEO-driven sites.
Best for users who are comfortable following setup instructions or running a self-hosted tool.
