> I would really love it if GitHub pages or Netlify can provide some simple server-side tracking. It doesn't match GA but in some cases that's all I need.

That would be a great feature for GitHub Pages! Just a simple interface like https://simpleanalytics.io/simpleanalytics.io would serve most GH Pages use cases, I would think.

I feel like that should already exist, but surprisingly it doesn't. Hopefully Github works on it soon!

They already owned an analytics service for a while but it changed owners recently. Still looks almost the same though https://get.gaug.es/ - so I guess they decided it’s not part of their core business.
