  • My wife and I have been using good old Statcounter since 2004 - it gives us enough information to know what is going on our WP blogs.

    It's free too....... ;-)

    • Agreed. Statcounter shows more than GA, way more. Even the IP of the visitor. You can block the counter from recording your own visits as well as as visits by other users by creating a cookie or adding the IP addresses.

      You can see the exit links as well as downloads from your pages.
  • I did a little research and found some decent alternatives to Google Analytics for Wordpress blogs.
  • GA works best for me - but I'm not using WP though.

    • Hi Guys, I use Piwik - Web analytics - Open source , it does almost the same as google analytics. Its great and a the best alternative for google analytics You just need to install it on your own server, not that difficult, hope this will help you out. I can't post links lol, just posted my six message. just do a google search for piwik.org

  • I'm not familiarize with these other tools aside from google analytics. I'm into it but i should try also these tools for some purposes.
  • I still use Google Analytics but StatCounter is a pretty good alternative. If you're doing a lot of tweaking on your site it's really good to be able to set it up to ignore your own site visits in order to give a truer picture of your page hits..

    Hope this helps...

    • I also will recommend StatCounter. As far as I know it is the best alternatice to google Analytics, but it has less features.

  • Our biggest concern with GA is it slows down the loading of the site.

    Any experience any slowdowns or speed increases using Piwik on their server or Statcounter which runs on their own site?
