You have many followys so the potential for quite a few of them wanting to see your website is well not low.
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine I can also see a lot of people coming from other platforms such as 88x31 clicks, YouTube, Discord and so on
Replying to @luna@fedi.mldchan.dev
@luna
You have that detailed tracking?
Mhhhm I should look at my webserver statistics for my Webpage again and see if Hetzners in built Bot blocking works. Last time I checked 90% of page visits were bots :/
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine I use self-hosted Umami, it tracks a lot of things
Replying to @luna@fedi.mldchan.dev
@luna
I've now set up Goatcounter because it is more lightweight than Unami. Interested in seeing what it will track, might remove it though later, liked having no JS at all on my page.

@luna
Also made the dashboard openly visible :3

Likely unami can do more stuff than Goatcounter, but for me its enough to see general stuff :3
Also their tracker is like 1KiB of extra stuff to load which is basically nothing. The webserver itself uses only 66MiB which is also good considering I only have 4GiB on the VPS its running on alongside Masto, Uptime Kuma and an Etherpad server :3
Replying to @luna@fedi.mldchan.dev
@Wolkensteine The smaller VPS also runs extremely lightweight services or services that might use more bandwidth such as a copyparty server an all my Discord bots
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@luna
Also that IS A LOT that you are hosting :3
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine yeah I built my server out of last gen components before memory skyrocketed in price so I have a beefy server where running something like umami doesn't really do anything alongside an MC server, Akkoma on fedi.mldchan.dev, Akkoma on the-wired.club, website, MC website, hedgedoc, XMPP, matrix, samba (local), mcaptcha, peertube, forgejo, 4 fedi bots, vaultwarden, ntfy, akabot.xyz website, immich

I am very happy about the VPS, it is one hosted by Hetzner and I only had good experiences with their support, although with new prices I'd not order another one, still on the old plan with 6€/mo instead of like a lot more.
Their webhosting plan is what got me there - 1,6€/mo with mail is great.
Would love to self host on own hardware but don't have static ips and don't want to use Cloudflare tunnels or similar.
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine I don't have a static IP either, I have a Wireguard tunnel instead, and either nginx or iptables rules to forward services to the internet
Replying to @luna@fedi.mldchan.dev
@luna
So you also have a small VPS or something that is the reverse proxy and sends it through WireGuard?
Have tried a similar thing, but found that to be sometimes unreliable due to ISP stuff / Internet outage at home.
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine Yeah I do, I do have unreliable internet as well sometimes but I set keepalive checks on wireguard to 5 seconds so it reconnects pretty quickly and usually I don't even notice it
Replying to @Wolkensteine@mastodon.wolkenheim.eu
@Wolkensteine yeah it may seem a lot but I only really access git.mldchan.dev or fedi.mldchan.dev, the rest of these services are for example bots on Discord or on fedi, or are accessed by an app so I never type in the URL or access them infrequently
