An easy way to collect useful statistical information about web page views without any client side code.
- Records the date and time at which a page was viewed, the referrer (if any), the viewer's country and whether the user is a bot or a real person (through the IP Legit API).
- You can add
?notrackat the end of the URL if you want to visit your page without counting it as a view. - Information is displayed in a neat, responsive table.
- Insightful charts such as the number of views during different days of the week are available in insights.
- PHP 7+ (May work on older versions but hasn't been tested)
- Download the code as a ZIP file and extract it such that these files are in a folder named 'webstats'.
- Place the folder in the root directory of your webspace. (If you choose to upload it elsewhere, you must update the $statFilePath variable in settings.php)
- Recommended: set up .htaccess password protection for this folder.
Add the following at the end of your page's index.php file:
include '{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/webstats/stats.php';
Create an index.php file in that directory and add this code in it:
<?php
echo file_get_contents("./index.html");
include '{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/webstats/stats.php';
?>
You may want to rename your index.html file to something else to be extra safe that it doesn't clash with index.php.
Open the page on your browser. The page's index.php file will run the code in stats.php which will record the stats. To view the stats, simply open the /webstats directory of your webspace. You can also open /webstats/insights for processed data.
