I learned about GoatCounter a while ago and wanted to implement it on my site running PaperMod. GoatCounter provides open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics and can be self-hosted. I added three lines to
layouts/partials/head.html
and it works.The script,
count.js
, can also be hosted as a simple JS file. In my case, I wanted to have it instatic/
. I addedsite.Params.analytics.goatcounter.Src
which can be used to override the default mirror.The "code" (similar to a site verification tag) can be set via
site.Params.analytics.goatcounter.Code
.I'm not sure if this goes against the PR policy of "not [including] any CDN resources/links" since it optionally uses the GoatCounter script.
