Analytics in the web context is the subject of tracking website users and deriving insights or value from those data.
Local Tools[edit | edit source]
An excellent program for analytics is AWStats. The nice thing about AWStats, aside from it being free open-source software, is that it's locally installed on your system and so there is no third party. You have your stats, and nobody else does.
wp:Webtrends is a commercial product and is focussed on SaaS model, but it supposedly is still available as a software product.
Hosted Services[edit | edit source]
Most Analytics systems today are offered as a service. Chief among those is Google Analytics (or GA for short).
In-wiki Analytics[edit | edit source]
To implement Google Analytics in your wiki, you should not use the googleAnalytics extension or others as they have some shortcomings pointed out by Dantman. Instead, he offers up a better approach: putting the code right in your LocalSettings file.
Analyzing your competitors[edit | edit source]
A few sites provide insights to any public website.
