Open Web Analytics (OWA) is an open source, self-hosted web analytics server and JavaScript tracking client, serving as an alternative to Google Analytics. It tracks visitors, pageviews, e-commerce transactions, heatmaps, and session recordings while keeping data ownership with the site operator.
Use cases
- self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics
- track pageviews and visitors on my website
- generate heatmaps and session recordings
- track e-commerce transactions and custom actions
- geolocate website visitors
- access analytics data via a REST API
- add analytics to a WordPress site
- track multiple websites from one instance
When to choose
- you need full data ownership and privacy compliance for web analytics
- you want a self-hosted GA alternative with heatmaps and session replay
- you run WordPress or PHP applications and want easy integration
- you need multi-site, multi-user analytics reporting
When to avoid
- you prefer a hosted, zero-maintenance analytics service
- your stack is not PHP-based and you want a lightweight JS-only solution
- you need real-time product analytics like event funnels at scale (tools like PostHog may fit better)
