Burst Statistics: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Burst Statistics is a statistics plugin for WordPress that shows visitor numbers and traffic sources in the dashboard of your own website. It is aimed at site owners and agencies that want to measure traffic without a separate analytics product. The plugin is installed on the website itself, and the vendor says its source code is published on GitHub.

The vendor, Burst Statistics B.V., is based in Groningen in the Netherlands. The company states that it does not receive the analytics data: all measurements are stored in the WordPress database of the website that runs the plugin, under the control of the site owner. The vendor says the plugin is built to comply with the GDPR and the CCPA. For a European organisation, the data location therefore stays under its own control, provided the WordPress installation is hosted in the EU.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Burst Statistics

Burst Statistics is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Burst Statistics runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Burst Statistics is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Burst Statistics together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
