Hi. I have a few content websites that may not be used by a tech savvy community, but by young people. Is it there a way to implement a GA alternative in a few minutes to compare by how much the stats differ? I suspect GA is not counting all my visitors.

Yes: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html#accesslog (for apache, obviously) or the equivalent for whichever flavor of httpd you're using.

Consult `man 1 grep` for information on how to query it.
