Hello everyone,
I am searching for a lightweight solution/plugin for my website, which don’t effect my website speed at all. I don’t want to know everything.
I want to know these simple things:
1. How many daily users
2. Top performing pages
3. I want to save analytics for up to 1 month

Which plugin/solution is best for me?
Please help.
Thanks.

@lcf thank you so much for help. But it’s a Paid solution. In free plan there is only Unique Visitors count is showing.

Jetpack’s stats aren’t overly burdensome.

Thank you @sterndata . I have no problem with bundersome data. I am using Google Analytics for 7 years. But it’s destroying my page speed. That’s why I am replacing it. As jetpack is a really big plugin, is it best solution? As using jetpack just for analytics not sounding right. Or Jetpack Stats available separately?

Ask your host if they support AWSTATS. That moves analytics from WordPress to an external analysis of the server logs. Stuff is being logged anyway, so that will not affect your site at all.

Thank you so much @sterndata . I will ask my host about this ASAP. in case this feature not available. Can you please suggest me best plugin for this? Like one plugin in my mind is WP Stats, which host everything in my website.

Please review the plugins. On sites where I care about stats, I use Google Sitelink to hook up Google Analytics.

You could give splitbee analytics a try.
Very simple to implement & 9kb bundle size which is probably the smallest you can get.
A very Straight to the point & simple analytics solution that will give you exactly what you requested above.
