For Web Analytics Tools in May 2026, the practical question is not just which product collects traffic data, but which open or source-visible project looks healthy enough to trust.
The list is limited to open/source-visible tools and is ordered by ToolVitals score first. GitHub stars are used only as a secondary popularity signal when scores need a tie-breaker, so a smaller project with stronger health and shipping signals can rank above a much larger repository.
Rankings

Top 3 Highlights
Statistics for Strava ranks first with a ToolVitals score of 94, the highest health score in the set at 95, and the strongest shipping score at 98. The data points to a small but very strong project by maintenance and shipping signals, even though it is more specialized than a general-purpose website analytics product.
Plausible Analytics ranks second with a ToolVitals score of 83 and the largest popularity signal in the group at 26,176 GitHub stars. Its health score of 81 is solid, while its shipping score of 72 trails the top-ranked tool, which is why it sits behind Statistics for Strava despite far broader GitHub popularity.
PeakURL ranks third with a ToolVitals score of 81, backed by a strong shipping score of 92 and a health score of 72. Its GitHub popularity is tiny at 3 stars, so this placement comes from ToolVitals health and shipping signals rather than community size.
