That's a very interesting notion, I didn't know you could use a GA pixel. That's a much better alternative to the full-blown JS tracker, thank you.

What about running your own service like piwik?

That would be best, I tried to run it for me but my needs are too simple for a full-blown solution like that. I'm currently trying to just add a tracking image to my own server so I can count visits.

I'm using netlify, which is a global CDN, and doesn't provide logs :/
