I personally started using Slim stat.
google analytics isn’t accepting any new sites, last time I checked.
Do you have access to the web logs ? If you do, then awstats is pretty good.
miklb – I like the look of Slim Stat … and I can even migrate my ShortStat data to it… one question: will it slow me down considerably when I am posting?
VaamYob – I just checked the awstats and I like them too. The only problem is that I can’t see drill down detail in terms of IP address… was it someone surfing from a government office or from an insurance company?
I’m not aware of any slow down. I also use awstat, as well as a few other stats packages my host provides. I just like the interface of slim stat. Especially for a quick snapshot.
P3,
I’m not sure what you’re looking for. In my awstats, it shows:
cpe-071-068-122-175.carolina.res.rr.com
rr.com is an ISP, so I’m guessing it’s someone’s broadband connection;
further down, I see:
joshua-ext.edwards.af.mil
I’m guessing it’s some bored soldier at Edwards Air Force Base;
I also see:
ip154.hub360.stpaul.k12.mn.us
which is probably some kid at the school library;
lastly, I see:
nat-7.cat.com
which looks like a corporate router/firewall.
ShortStat slows down once the database reaches a certain size. If you want to keep ShortStat, there was a script (probably _killprevious.php) which was included to remove stats from the database which had been recorded over the previous months. If you run that script, you should notice a speed increase.
Personally, I was such a fan of ShortStat, that I “upgraded” to Mint.
Unfortunately, Mint does cost $30. I felt that it was worth it, but you may not agree. Fortunately, there is a rather large list of free statistic plugins here:

just a fyi macmanx, and anyone else reading, slim stat is a fork of short stat, and a quite nice one at that.
Wow, mint looks pretty nice.
It’s a good alternative to google’s offering.
slim stat is a fork of short stat
Then I sure hope that SlimStat isn’t using any of Shaun’s copyrighted ShortStat code.
::Edit:: Whoops, never mind. ShortStat was released under the GPL.
Mint is pretty cool.
I will first try awstats and will test slim stat as well.
Thanks for all the help and feedback!
