About Site Analytics

Site Analytics adds a new dimension to how you develop and manage your hosted Web site.  Site Analytics is a comprehensive reporting tool that analyzes traffic coming to and moving through your site.  With the knowledge of exactly how visitors find your site and their behavior once they get there, it's easy to target your audience and ensure their experience is a positive one.  

How Site Analytics works

Site Analytics is a log file analysis tool that uses PHP and MySQL to generate and display Web site reports in a browser-based Web application.  When your Web site is visited, the hosting Web server creates a log of all requests made during a particular browsing session or visit.  This log file of site activity is generated daily.  Site Analytics turns this raw data into relevant, meaningful reports you can use to improve your site.
