Best WordPress statistics plugins

Hello,

I'd like to ask your opinions about which statistics systems/plugins for WordPress you use/like the most. What do you prefer, and why?

 

For some sites i use Statpress, Although you cant see the pages they hit due to some ? that gets in the way from the backend.

Reason i like : It gives me which pages have been hit the most, top refferes and deletes old log files so it never gets too big.

I also like Live. It allows you to watch where your visitors came from and where they go to on the site.

Reason i like : If the site is a busy one, then you can see where your visitors stop browsing the site and try and implement changes to keep them on longer.

After using one of those two, i also use GA

In the past i used counterize and a few others. I just like the ones i use now.

Hope that helps
Dan

 

I use cystats plugin.

 

I recommend you "Stats" http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

But you will need Wordpress.com API to run it properly.

 

Thank you all! I'm using GA and WordPress.com Stats already, so I'll give a try to StatPress as well.

 

Hey mgunin what is GA?

 

Thanks Don for sorting that out.

i like statcounter.. i use it in conjunction with google analytics. statcounter is real time but it only has a log size of 500 for details (came from, keywords, etc). GA has reporting that is delayed by 3-5 hours at least. so statcounter for short term/current stats and google for long term trends.

 

Yep, I did, sorry for a confusion

 

I used wp-stats. but it make my site load slowly and get more cpu load. so now I'm using GA and histats
