I want to know a website that gives realistic data about daily visits, views, etc, of a website.

I really liked the statshow.com, before I used to use alexa.com, but switched to the other, also use similarweb, but in the end, they all have mismatched information, one says one thing another says another, I think they use assumption and prediction, but do not know the real data of daily views of a website.

Anyway, suggest me websites that you use to view statistics of a website.

Your own site or someone else's?

If it's your own site google analytics is fine, it'll be 99% accurate, log parsing will be 100% accurate.

If it's someone else's there is no accurate way. Things like alexa are really only valuable to get a rough relative number. For example you know reddit is more popular than poal, but is it 100x or 1000x? Alexa can narrow this down to a number that will be close enough to be meaningful.

PIWIK is a self-hosted alternative to Jewgle Analytics. You cannot view accurate stats of another website.

I write my own scripts that parse my logs for info I'm interested in, but still need my brain to filter out bots, crawlers, and so on. If you want to get info about some other site, I don't know how to get it.

Anything other than log parsing is likely to be only a good approximation. Even self-hosted solutions can be mixed up by adblocking, script blocking, canvas blocking, and other privacy tools visitors may be using.

They fuzzy the data on purpose.

If it's your own then track your own statistics using your own metrics.

Google analytics can be implemented out of the box and plugged into any website.

Also many web hosting companies provide an out of box solution in your control panel called AWS statistics
