Actually we already know that if you want to know how many visitors you have, GA will strongly underestimate, especially with tech literate audience. You may want the log parsing instead.
Even if you want the JS-based solution, you can do it first party, without the need for GA.

Sure enough to quote a source? There lots of high ranking pages, using non-GA solutions.
