## What it is
Counterscale is a self-hosted, privacy-friendly web analytics tracker and dashboard built on Cloudflare Workers and Workers Analytics Engine. It is designed for near-zero cost operation, easy CLI-based deployment, and cookie-free tracking of pageviews, referrers, and engagement.

## Use cases
- self-host website analytics on Cloudflare
- replace Google Analytics with a privacy-friendly alternative
- track pageviews and referrers without cookies
- run web analytics at near-zero cost on Cloudflare's free tier
- deploy a web analytics dashboard in minutes with a CLI
- keep ownership of website traffic data

## When to choose
- you already use Cloudflare and want simple, cheap, self-hosted analytics
- you need cookie-free, privacy-respecting traffic tracking
- you want a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics or Plausible without subscription costs
- you prefer serverless infrastructure with no databases or containers to manage

## When to avoid
- you need more than 90 days of queryable data (long-term storage exists but is limited)
- your site is not served through Cloudflare or you don't want a Cloudflare account
- you need advanced analytics features like funnels, session replay, or A/B testing
- you require GDPR-style data residency controls or self-hosting outside Cloudflare
