lake8.dev

lake8.dev is a geo analytics platform that provides real-time, public, and verifiable traffic statistics. It emphasizes transparency by stating that its data is unfiltered and unprocessed, offering users access to raw analytics without additional manipulation. The platform collects and displays metrics such as total requests, unique visitors, detected countries, bandwidth served, and breakdowns of safe and suspicious crawlers, as well as blocked attacks.

Among its features are daily historical summaries, IP blocklists, PageSpeed insights, and a knowledge graph referred to as a "Grafo Semantico." The platform includes sections for analyzing traffic by continent and site section, and it provides map-based visualizations with filters for top countries, hits, visitors, and bandwidth. It also distinguishes between different types of crawlers and bots, categorizing them as safe, AI/indexing, attention-required, or suspicious. Data sources include nginx logs from a Raspberry Pi, which are updated every five minutes, and official GitHub statistics via API, updated every 24 hours. Geo-location data is sourced from MaxMind GeoLite2 City. The platform specifies that it does not process or store personal data, using only aggregated IP addresses and user agent information.

lake8.dev is delivered as a web-based tool, accessible through its website. Its focus on open and honest analytics suggests it is intended for users seeking transparent site metrics, such as web administrators or those interested in public traffic data.
