Website Traffic Stats

[faisj]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know a good(/great) traffic stats service online?
But,

- It has to be free (lol)
- It should not show anything on the site.
(so no, picture that visitors would see... etc..)
- It should not produce any (ads) popups etc...

Hope someone can help me out.

kind regards,

Faisj

it takes time to get an invite, but it is the best I have ever used :D

Hi Hanz,

I have an Analytics account but, i ddi use it for a site once and
it really made the site slow somehow.
(I also had read this on multiple forums)

Did Google fix this problem?

awstats?

awstats?

Thanks for the suggestion Jstep.
But, on the moment I am testing analytics again.
Lets see if they improved...

i like whatcounter.com stats counter is giving me, it's an invisible counter/stats tracking gives you everything what can awstats/webalizer can give and it's remotely hosted.

if you want their script installed on your site, they're using
power ph logger
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pphlogger
good if you use it only on your sites but using the script can also enable you to offer free (or paid) stats/counter services.

Analytics is great, I have performed speed tests before and after implementation and am still loving it, havn't noticed any notable pageload time differences.

Silly question, but is your site hosted? if so many of the hosting services provide traffic stats. If not and you want to install it on your own server you can check out free download sites for stats program. Also statcounters (dot com) has a basic free account. - I hope this help.

I have also heard they have speed problems, but i haven't had any problems myself, so I am quite happy

Dear tvelasquez,

I have my own servers.
But, I wanted to know if there are more webbased solutions.

kind regards,

I just use AddFreeStats and use some CSS tricks to hide their button, works out fine.

I wouldn't do that, if button is in their terms then it must be there. If you get caught doing that then you will be banned.
If you don't like ads then try some other services

just my 1 cents

Hi faisj, could you report the results of your findings please... I am thinking of installing analytics but have also had concerns about load speed. Thanks

Peace,
