LibreCounter Stats

Do you have an open source website hosted on GitHub pages or GitLab pages, and want to have some basic website analytics? Are you tired of Google Analytics and similar stats packages that force you to add a cookie warning? I want to present to you my latest project: LibreCounter skips all that with its dead-simple stats, one-line installation on your favorite site.

I created LibreCounter because I was fed up with Google Analytics, its bizarre interface and its inane antics. Also, I didn't want to have a cookie warning as if I was collecting info about my visitors.

LibreCounter provides free, libre and open website statistics. GDPR compliant: no cookies, no tracking done in the browser, no IP addresses stored, no marketing or advertising done (or even possible). LibreCounter provides website traffic analysis and statistics for free at librecounter.org.

How to Use: Simply add the following snippet to your website, in all pages that you want analyzed:

<a href="https://librecounter.org/referer/show">
<img src="https://librecounter.org/counter.svg" referrerPolicy="unsafe-url" />
</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After that stats will be collected for every page view, and users clicking on the logo will be taken to https://librecounter.org/[site]/show, replacing [site] with your domain name. Stats will be public for all your visitors to see.
