Best Free Website/Blog Stats Service?

Hi,

I've got a blog with Wordpress which I was using GetClicky.com with, to monitor traffic and any other related stats. However because my traffic was quite high, I think I "used up" their free service, and now they want me to pay to upgrade my account.

I'm just wondering, is it worth paying to upgrade my account, or is there any good alternative free websites that I can use instead of GetClicky to monitor my stats?

I've heard that Google Analytics causes your website to load up a fair bit slower then usual, is this true?


Thanks for any advice

 

I have no problems in using google analytics on my websites.
If you really want a reliable and advance site statistics I recommend you to use googe analytics

 

There are many free alternatives and google may not be the best one for you.

Do you have a particular feature or use which you rely on most? Are there any possible requirements you are looking for in an equitable free tracker?

 

Mainly I just want to be able to find stats about popular posts made on my blog, learn how people are discovering my site (what they are searching for in google, any anything related to incoming links etc).

Thanks for the help so far. So do people mainly recommend Google Analytics? Does anyone else find it slows down your site?

 

Anyone got any other suggestions for me?

 

Almost all tracking systems do that. Are there more detailed or advanced options which are important to you?

 

Nope just want something that is free and will do the above without expiring and asking for a payment after so many hits...


Thanks for the help

 

Google Analytics is best web analytics tool for measuring traffic and conversions.

 

At one time I used mybloglog's paid analytics (first 10 are free) but I now I use Google analytics. The latter seems to be working out well - no complaints and it's free.
