I'd say *no*, for now.

Counting page views is a bit tricky, at best.

If you only include signed in users then basic counting is easy, but counting *unique* visitors is more difficult, typically requiring a database post to log every visit.

If you include *all* traffic (including not-logged-in), then you have the search-engine/robot problem added to the mix and need to filter out those visits or else, with a low-traffic site, it becomes hard to tell the true traffic.
