Self-hosted Umami analytics blocked by adblockers due to subdomain name

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer discovered that self-hosted Umami analytics at umami.parserbee.com was silently blocked by adblockers because EasyPrivacy filter lists target any host with subdomain 'umami' serving script.js. The fix is to serve the tracker from a different subdomain like u.parserbee.com, which avoids the filter rules. After the change, tracked page views matched server logs, confirming the issue was resolved.

Meridian48 take
This is a practical reminder that self-hosted analytics aren't immune to adblockers if you follow predictable naming conventions, but the workaround is simple.
