A question for everybody on counting your visitors : How do you do it? I am self hosting my blog on archlinux + nginx using an old laptop. I proxied it behind cloudflared tunnel. On my Nginx access logs, All I see is mostly bots and for any visitor that does not identify as bots, I feel like they are still bots. I really can't be sure. And Cloudflare analytics suggest that I have a little shy over 1 thousand of visitors in the last 1 month, which also seem quite unlikely. I would love to hear your experiences on this! Thanks


I just look at the numbers Google Blogger spits out. I'm sure they're overstated with respect to real users but I don't actually care.

(I use blogger and, in fact, after much deliberation just decided to roll everything (personal and business) together on my existing template.) Anything else was just too much trouble and probably cost. Zero interest in self-hosting.
