#OxiTraffic, a self-hosted, simple and privacy respecting website traffic tracker
Demo: https://oxitraffic.mo8it.com
I just published version 0.6 with a #Docker image! ️
(You don't have to use Docker though)
Do you have a #blog?
I can host it for you if you want to test it with your website
Of course, it is written in #Rust
Check out the README, I spent a lot of time on it

Boost?
@mo8it is it possible to use an image instead of a js script ?
@panigrc Using an image was actually the first strategy that I tried. But it produced garbage calls from bots. Some bots load images!
Some bots even run JS! Therefore, my strategy is to only count a visit if the user stays on the page for at least 20 seconds. After testing this strategy for some months, it turns out to be very effective against bots.
@panigrc I get your concerns, I hate JS myself and try to avoid it whenever possible! Therefore, I made the JS script that is executed on the visitor's machine very tiny and well documented:

I also explain how it works in the README:

Don't hesitate to ask further questions if you have any concerns
