If you already have existing scoreboard objectives, you don't need anything else to show them on WebStats. You can just list them in the config file, but by default it should already display all scoreboard objectives it can find. |

A datapack like the Vanilla Tweaks Track Raw Statistics and Track Statistics will then setup these scoreboard objectives, correct? |

Yes exactly. Though keep in mind that those datapacks will only start tracking the statistics after they are installed, so all scores will begin counting at 0. |

OK, perfect, so now what is the exact difference between scoreboard objectives and statistics (because both can display the same values)? |

Scoreboard objectives are server-side and can hold any (numeric) value. They can be updated automatically (for some criteria) but also manually by commands (includes datapacks) and plugins. They are indexed by name, which can be a player's name but doesn't need to be (datapacks often use an objective called "constants" which holds the value 100 for the entry with name "100" and so on). The statistics are client-side and are thus per player. They only store the statistics that are defined in the Minecraft code and as such cannot hold other values and the values cannot be changed by commands. The scoreboard is meant to store any data that a datapack author or anyone might want to store, while the statistics are specifically storing, well, the player's statistics. |

There doesn't seem to be a list online (in general, I find Vanilla Tweaks' documentation to be very lacking. These are the objectives listed in the Track StatisticsMost of these ones also have a "show" variant which you should use, the non-show variants will flicker if displayed in the sidebar for instance.

OK so I do only have to add the PlaceholderAPI values and then it should work or do I also have to change the table columns (names) and the column units? |
