I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how many people view my blog from mobile devices, etc.
So, my question is, what is the most appropriate (ot the less evil) way to track a web traffic?
An answer “there is no good way to do it without breaking user’s privacy” is acceptable too, I did not decide yet turning on the analytics. Instead I’m interested in an opinion of the community.
Thanks in advance!
