Stats analytics api endpoint blocked by AdBlocker

When visiting the stats page for a post while having an adblocker enabled, the adblocker blocks the api endpoint as it contains the word analytics. As far as I could see, this endpoint is not documented, so I believe it would be possible to rename it, this would prevent users from having to allow this particular url in their adblocker.

The adblock I'm using is uBlock Origin, although I doubt that this is limited to this one adblocker.

As easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt includes /api/analytics/*, which matches these 2 API calls, I encountered this, too.
