[RFC]: [Implement analytics]

[arhimede]

We need to decide what service to use, in order to track website traffic.
Current options are :

1. Fathom US infrastructure,
2. Plausible European infrastructure

If there are other suggestions , please feel free to add it here

No comment - I've used both and they are largely similar - Would we exceed the hits limit for the cheapest Fathom account though?

The PHP RFC is about implementing a hosted Matomo instance , which can be an option for us too

@gsteel
@arhimede means a self-hosted instance of Matomo.

[gsteel]

Yes, I understood that, but self-hosting a matomo instance is more work - using an off-the-shelf service would be a lot easier

[froschdesign]

Correct, it is more work and something like Plausible is much easier to use.
