Understanding Your Website Visitors in Detail
Awstats (Advanced Web Statistics) is a powerful log analyzer that transforms your server data into easy-to-understand graphs and tables. Since the data comes directly from the web server logs, the analysis is particularly precise and compliant with data protection regulations.
The Advantage over Google Analytics: Awstats does not require cookies or JavaScript on your visitors' browsers. It even records hits from bots and crawlers that traditional tracking tools often overlook.
