Matomo: Analytics Without the Surveillance

Let’s talk about the "GA4 Nightmare."

Google Analytics 4 is the only product in history that managed to be more complicated, less intuitive, and more invasive than the product it replaced.

It takes three weeks of training just to figure out how to see your "Daily Unique Visitors." And even then, the data is "Sampled"—which is a polite way of saying "We’re guessing because we don't want to spend the compute to give you the real numbers."

Oh, and you’re also feeding Google’s ad-targeting machine with every click on your site.

If you’re tired of being a "Data Donor," it’s time for Matomo.

100% Data Ownership

The beauty of Matomo is simple: You own the data.

It’s not sitting in a Google data center. It’s sitting on your Leapjuice instance. There is no "Sampling." There is no "Data Sharing."

When Matomo tells you that you had 452 visitors yesterday, you had 452 visitors. You can drill down into every single session, every click, and every conversion without worrying about a "Privacy Policy" that changes every six months.

Privacy as a Product Feature

In 2026, "Privacy" is no longer just for activists. It’s a competitive advantage.

Consumers are increasingly using "Ad Blockers" and "Privacy Browsers" that block Google Analytics by default. But because Matomo is first-party (meaning it’s served from your own domain), it often bypasses these blocks, giving you a more accurate picture of your actual traffic.

Plus, you can configure Matomo to be 100% GDPR and CCPA compliant without those annoying "Cookie Banners" that kill your user experience.

Why Matomo on Leapjuice?

Analytics is a "Write-Intensive" workload. Every time someone hits a page, your database has to record a row.

On standard hosting, this will kill your site performance. But on Leapjuice, we use Titanium NVMe storage that can handle thousands of concurrent writes without breaking a sweat.

We’ve optimized our Matomo stack to give you "Real-Time" analytics that are actually real-time. You can see your traffic as it happens, with zero lag and zero "Cloud Tax."

Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.

Your analytics should be a source of truth, not a source of frustration.

Ditch the surveillance machine. Move to Matomo.
