I'm running a small site and could do with seeing what page views we're getting, perhaps with a bit more detail about where from etc.
Can any WP experts recommend something simple to use? It's a a voluntary organisation with no budget, so free would be best. Otherwise it comes out of my pocket along with the hosting etc.
Watching with interest as it's something I also need to consider
Wouldn't you just use GA like everyone else? Free and everything you'd ever want in exchange for your data of course.

I agree that Google Analytics is the standard.
Easy to install using any number of plugins, or usually directly in the theme itself. You just need to get your unique key numbers from registering your site with Google first.
In this country, you'll need to be compliant with GDPR, so make sure you have a good privacy policy, cookie policy, etc (although you need this with any Wordpress site as they all store data and cookies of some kind).
Will look at GA, previously I used a plugin that no longer seems to be working.
just stick the google code in the head tag of the site (most likely in the header.php file.)
or you can just use a plug in, not doing much different I'd imagine. There'll be a few, just use the one most downloaded.
Agree with previous replies.
Sign up to Google GA and stick the code into your header and you have all the details you would ever need.
Easy to do, if you are using a child theme then just copy the header.php out from your parent theme and place into the child, put the code in the head tag and upload. This file will be used rather than the themes parent file so won't get over written in any updates.
I tend to stay away from plugins if possible as they can increase the load/speed on your site with additional bloat.
Any issues, PM me.
