> I would really love it if GitHub pages or Netlify can provide some simple server-side tracking. It doesn't match GA but in some cases that's all I need.
Cloudflare does this for free, and you can run it on top of Netlify, Github/Gitlab pages, etc.
I don't think Cloudflare's info is very helpful, at least in the free/cheap plans. It can help to roughly identify where your visitors come from and how many visits are from bots but that's about it.
