Not to mention GoAccess is often more accurate since many visitors use extensions which block 3rd party trackers.

I don't understand why Google Analytics works at all nowadays: A large percentage of visitors uses an adblocker and don't they block tracking and analytics by default?

Users like me must be complete ghosts unless one looks in their real server logs!

Honestly what Google Analytics tells me is that much less people use ad blockers than various discussions suggest.

I've had blogs do quite well on occasion and when that happens, GA seems to see > 75% of what the server logs do. And that's with a tech audience.

On the other side, server side logs show bots, and for some verticals that's massively bigger traffic than real people.
