Ask HN: Are website analytics services still worth it?

2 pointsby Philomathover 4 years ago
It seems like a very high percentage of internet users have some kind of adblocker, and Safari also blocks trackers by default.<p>So, is data you extract from those services still relevant?<p>Is it better to build your own tools that don&#x27;t depend on loading external scripts? If not, how do you solve this issue?

I use my own self-hosted analytics platform[0], which is not blocked by ad-blockers and can be hosted on the same domain (no external script).<p>I do have to test more with Safari though, I&#x27;m not sure if it sometimes blocks it or not.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usertrack.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usertrack.net&#x2F;</a>
