Simple web statistics for free

Nov 10th, 2007 by Jool

If you’re like me, you love looking at your web site’s stats. It is sometimes hard to find the right analytics script for you. There are plenty of free ones out there, from Google Analytics to phpMyVisites to places like statcounter. I’ve tried them all at various times, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. However, as good as these are, I have found an alternative for people who aren’t looking for fancy graphs but just want the straight numbers about how they web site is performing.

SlimStat, based on ShortStat is a simple statistics script that runs off your own server with little more then a few php pages and a database. It will give you a full summary of your websites activity, if you want daily, weekly or monthly snapshots, it can do that for you as well. Recent search terms, entry pages, and referrers are all listed in a no-nonsense way. You can also sort your stats using filters. You can filter the results from a single IP, a country, a referrer or anything really. The beauty in this is that you can analyze individual visits to your website. It’s all very fascinating and if you’re anything like me you’ll spend hours looking at your stats. Why don’t you go have a look at the screenshots, my words cannot fully do justice to how simple but yet powerful this awesome analytics script is.

Both JoolDesigns.net and this blog are hooked up to the script, and it has been nothing short of awesome so far.

    many things to discuss… But anyway I’m not going to discuss such a personal topic. Reading it is ok, but discussing it makes you look like a chatter –box and a rumor-spreader.

    Some people think that they are way too smart. They think their comments are wonders of the world! Dudes don’t be so self-confident.
