How does Matomo work better with a static site, than GoAccess? GoAccess reads the server logs and creates metrics. Matomo requires javascript; that isn't 'static website'.
GoAccess reads metrics of a server you have access to. So if you are distributing from a CDN or for instance GitHub or some other hosted solution, then you have no logs to read from.
Also usage of javascript doesn't make one page non-static. Static is usually referred to a page that is rendered in full before a request comes in so the content does really change based on the request. More simply, content doesn't change dynamically based on the request. Having javascript to generate metrics doesn't make the page dynamic.
