Hey #WordPress friends, what's your favourite statistics plugin which is *not* JetPack.
I'm looking for something lightweight and privacy preserving.
Bonus points if I can import all my previous JetPack stats into it.
So, what do you use?
(Before replying - please remember to be both kind and helpful. Suggesting moving away from WP is neither.)

@Edent Very simple pageviews tracking only. No JS required. Privacy top priority. No import from JetPack though.

@jm thanks. Do you know of a way to import old views into that? I'm following a few rabbit holes right now
-
@kraftner cheers. I might try to back-fill something.
-
@Edent It has a custom table with a very basic structure, so backfilling data should be really easy once you have it transformed from your source data.

@Edent Koko Analytics plugin author here, so biased. But Koko is definitely lightweight and privacy preserving.
Koko Analytics
Privacy-friendly and efficient analytics for your WordPress site
WordPress.org (wordpress.org)
You can't easily import Jetpack data into it right now, but I might have a go at that over the next few weeks as I see a lot of people making the switch right now.
Let me know if there's anything else in Koko that you think would be useful or needs improvement.

@Edent I‘m maintaining Statify, so I am biased, but it is a clean, lightweight plugin. But no Import. Koko is really great too. And the UI is better. Hat tip @dvk
There is also Burst Statistics and Independent Analytics. Or WP Statistics. But these are bigger in Features, which could be not what you want.
If you want something outside of WP, you can use Matomo, Plausible or Fathom.
But I‘ve never seen any import features for Jetpack unfortunately.

Cheers mate, I'll take a look.I can get a CSV of historic views from JeyPack - see https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-for-wordpress/issues/188#issuecomment-2400330453
If that's any help? -

@Edent I don’t use a WordPress plugin but use Plausible on my WordPress sites. Not sure if that’s what you were looking for or were only interested in a plugin specifically?
-

@Edent That looks pretty close to Koko's database table structure already tbh. If you have SQL access or something like PHPMyAdmin I believe MySQL can run an import query from CSV?
I'll take a closer look tomorrow when behind my computer. But from a first look, it looks very doable!
-
@Edent Koko on all my sites

I think I'd prefer a plugin so I can easily integrate pageview counters into each post. -
Right, I've written some code to export all of my #JetPack stats.
5,458 JSON files - one for every day.
Now I just need to find a #WordPress stats plugin with a simple enough database schema that I can backfill.
Currently evaluating Matomo, Statify, and Koko.

@Edent not sure if you ruled it out already, but plausible might be an option and has a convenient CSV importer for historic data.
Might be possible to massage the JSON data in a compatible CSV if the platform looks like a viable option.
