Do you use a Joomla module or component to display all your required Website Statistics?

Which programme would you recommend?

I am looking for a progaramme that simply tells me how many visitors I have had and which pages they visited while they were on my site…I don’t want a programme that uses up tons of bandwith.

I use Joomla Watch

It can show stats in front and backend. The list of features is endless. And it’s free.

Home page here… http://www.codegravity.com/projects/joomlawatch

JoomlaWatch is an AJAX component and module for Joomla CMS that allows you to watch your website visitors and bots in real-time from the administration menu. Specially their IP addresses, countries they come from, which pages they are viewing, their browser and operating system, it creates daily and all-time stats from these information plus unique, pageload and total hits statistics. Furthermore, you can block harmful IP addresses and see blocked attempts stats.

give it a try at Google Analytics 🙂 it works on the backend only and is enabled by modifying index.php on your template but is very complete 🙂

Yes, of course… Analytics is the ultimate when it comes to stats.

I generally use both. Joomla Watch has some great features not available in Analytics like IP addresses of all visitors, it separates bots, Real time updates (you can actually see stats update as links are clicked without having to refesh), and the ability to ban by IP.

Plus there is a neat front end stats module where you can see number of visitors today, this month, etc and also visitors by country.
