Interested in valuable statistics about visitors of your website?
Look no further! Thunderstats is the tool for you that does what other products only promise!
Highlights
Entirely real-time processing and reporting
No generation of reports at fixed hours during the night, but on the fly, as it
happens.
Localised timing
Time information is provided in the time-zone of your site rather than the
time-zone of the server.
Reports available in both English and Dutch
Because not everyone speaks the same language.
Blindingly fast generation of reports
Depending only on the number of lookups to be processed.
Viewing reports does not crash your browser
Since we use picturised graphs rather than mega-HTML-tables with hundreds of
resized pictures.
Real visitor tracking
Since Thunderstats is even able to trace sessions that go through multiple,
rotating proxies.
Protected statistics
Accesses through (illegal) mirror copies of your site do not affect the
statistics of your site.
As Thunderstats checks where the measured pages are, nobody can hamper with or
'borrow' your counters for their own sites.
Webcounter
You get a webcounter at the same time.
Fixed JavaScript code for measurement
All sites and all pages in a site to be measured use the same piece of
JavaScript code, since site and section determination is done on the
server side rather than the client side, so you can simply embed the
code in your page template file or generated pages without hassle.
Multi-homed sites can be monitored
Your site is available at more than one URL? Thunderstats can deal with it!
Licences based on number of lookups instead of number of counters
You can have as many sections ('counters') as you wish, since licences only
depend on the total number of page lookups your site has.
What does Thunderstats provide you with
A webcounter
Shows the number of visitors you had so far.
Last visitors
Who were the last 10 visitors to your site?
Current visitors
Who is currently browsing your site? And what section are they in right now?
Location of your visitors
Both domain names and countries are reported.
Referrer information
Find out which sites link to your site. Do you have banners that go to your
site when clicked?
Find out whether these advertisements are succesful or not!
Search engines are reported separately, and you get to see the actual search phrases used as well!
Indepth information on your visitors's browser capabilities
Determines the size and colour depth of your visitor's screens, the
Operating Systems they run, the browsers they use, whether they have Java
and JavaScript support plus a list of the plug-ins they have installed.
All in all invaluable information to be able to tune your site to your
audience's capabilities.
Indepth information on the behavior of your visitors
Which sections of your site are visited most often? How do people get to
certain areas of your site?
How do people navigate through your site? How long do they stay on a page?
How long do typical visits take and how many pages do they read?
What's the first page they see and at which point do they leave?
This information is invaluable to optimise the layout of your site so that
your visitors view the sections you wish them to.
Highly detailed statistics on the number of visitors
All of graphs telling how busy your site is (number of concurrently running
sessions), number of lookups and number of visitors processed are provided,
measured in 4 intervals: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours and 24 hours, thus
providing you with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statistics.
And there's more! The statistics can be downloaded in a .csv file to be
imported into spreadsheets or databases for more detail or different type
graphs!
Different parts of a site can be individually monitored
If you have several people who maintain parts of your site (for example you
have a main section, job information and public relations sections), each
of these sections can be individually monitored, providing you with
individual statistics and reports.
Unlimited number of custom reports
There's one report that your visitors can see when clicking on the
Thunderstats icon (which can be deactivated too if you so wish), plus an
unlimited number of reports that only you can see.
For example, if you do not want your visitors to see the clickpaths used,
create a custom report for yourself so that you can see it.
Fully configurable with just your browser
Everything is fully configurable, even the font and colours to be used in
a report, and each option can be individually (de)activated or tuned.
And all you need is your browser and your assigned username/password.
Comes with a real-time traffic monitor
If your site is monitored, a real-time traffic monitor is provided, which
you can leave running to see how your site is visited during the day
(updated every 5 minutes).
Normally, only HTML (generating) pages can be monitored, as only these allow displaying of inline images
and running JavaScript. Examples are:
plain HTML files (extensions .htm or .html),
server-side included HTML files (extensions .shtml, .php, phtml, .php3, or .asp),
CGI scripts (executable on your server), so long as their output is HTML.
Files that can't be monitored for that reason include
plain text files (.txt, .doc, .csv, etc)
images (.gif, .jpg, etc)
audio/video files (.mid, .mp3, .rm, .mpg, etc)
download files (.zip, .exe, etc)
However, Thunderstats adds a download counter feature so that even these can be traced!
