Saikou: Open-Source Website Traffic Analytics

A self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics, Saikou provides detailed analytics with a focus on privacy and customization.

What is Saikou?

Saikou is an open-source, self-hosted website analytics platform that allows you to track and analyze traffic to your website or web application without relying on any external service. It provides all the key metrics that services like Google Analytics offer, including number of visitors, geographic data, referrers, landing/exit pages, technology data of visitors, and more.

As Saikou is self-hosted, you retain complete ownership and control of your website data. You don't have to worry about any third-party accessing or selling your usage analytics data. Saikou stores all data in your own database and provides customizable dashboards and reporting as per your requirements.

It is lightweight software designed to be easy to install (works with LEMP/LAMP stacks), has a simple and intuitive UI, and has extensive customization options when it comes to setting up data points to track and configuring dashboards. As an open-source platform, Saikou also benefits from contributions from developers around the world.

Saikou focuses heavily on privacy and compliance. It uses security measures like HTTPS and database encryption to ensure visitor data stays protected. The team behind Saikou is also transparent about its privacy policy and GDPR compliance.

For website owners concerned about privacy or wanting full control/ownership of analytics data, Saikou provides a robust, self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics and similar SaaS services.
