Download the GoatCounter binary from arp242.net/goatcounter, run `goatcounter serve -listen :443 -tls letsencrypt`. Add `<script data-goatcounter="https://yourcode.goatcounter.com/count" async src="//gc.zgo.at/count.js"></script>` to your site (or self-host the script). GoatCounter is the lightest of the three — single binary, embeds SQLite, almost zero ops.
