A couple of weeks ago I removed Google Analytics from all my sites and kept Application Insights (which I used in the past for server-side metrics but also has a JavaScript slug that can provide basic loading time and activity counters).
I’ve kept Clarity, which is GDPR-compliant and has already provided some hints as to how I can fine-tune readability–for instance, it turns out that monospaced text
was being rendered with link-like colors, something that its “dead click” counters showed and that I already fixed in CSS.
But all I really care analytics-wise is the outbound data transfer rates (and overall cost), so I’m mostly keeping an eye on Cloudflare Analytics for unexpected surges and rogue crawlers, plus all the Wordpress scanners that don’t realize this is a static site.
