Straining The Web

Net Sieve

FireStats PlugIn

I’m going to give FireStats a go to track this site. It sounds good from the features page:

  • FireStats protect the privacy of your users, unlike services like Google analytics.
  • Basic hit statistics (hits ever, in last 24 days etc)
  • Recent popular pages
  • Recent referers
  • Browser and OS trees, grouped by what matters
  • IP to country – know where your visitors are surfing from (New)
  • A list of recent hits
  • Excluding unwanted hits from the display
    • By IP address
    • By Logged in user (to be used mostly to filter blog administrator(s))
    • By user-agent (to be used to filter bots)
  • Import statistics from Counterize, to allow easy migration.
  • Ajax UI, no need to reload the whole page – just press the ‘refresh statistics’ button to get the latest data.
  • Designed to work on all browsers. (Tested on Firefox, Explorer, Opera and Konqueror)
  • Internationalization ready (Translating to additional languages is easy)

If I encounter any grief, I’ll let you know. Or if this site suddenly disappears that may be all the warning you get. Now let’s crunch those numbers.
