No analytics, no problem

This site has no tracking script. It does not know how many people read it, where they came from or how long they stayed.

Why leave it out

• Privacy. Visitors do not have to consent to something that does not exist.
• Speed. Not loading a third-party script is the cheapest performance optimisation there is.
• Peace of mind. Numbers invite comparison. A personal blog is better off without a scoreboard.

What you can still know

The web server writes an access log. If you ever need a rough idea of what gets read, the log has it, and it stays on your own machine.

When it would be worth it

If the blog were part of a business and every visit had a cost or a goal, I would measure it, probably with a small privacy-friendly tool. For writing down what I learn, I do not need to.
