If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]

If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.

Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.

Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

I feel like the blog post confused domain registration and DNS on the root domain. CloudFlare absolutely demands the latter by asking you to change your name server on your root domain. The only way out is on the enterprise plan.
Correct. Thanks for pointing that out, I might not have mentioned it correctly in my post.
