Is it still unusable for sites with traffic?
- mattab 10y agoPiwik now works on websites with 100M pageviews per month and more (much more) with the right setup
- user5994461 10y agoSo to answer the original question: Nope, doesn't work. (Quick test: if you're counting page views in millions per day, you're gonna have a tough time).
- mattab 10y agoPiwik does scale to millions of pages per month. We've managed installs of Piwik at _1 billion_ pages per month that's 30 million per day! Don't believe what you read on Hacker News ;-)
- buremba 10y agoHow it handles that traffic? It would be great if they could share the architecture because using Mysql for analytics is not easy, you can't expect Mysql to handle concurrent queries that needs to aggregate billions of records when I visit the dashboard.
- LinuxFreedom 10y agoNo, not usable in real life. Old-school PHP bloat that will slow down your site. Bonus: breaks occasionally on updates. Developers not willing to learn techniques needed for a quick logger with minimal impact. Run away from people using this with high traffic sites in a still-2005-PHP-mindset.
- heyalexej 10y agoSo what would you suggest as an alternative?
- shakna 10y agoI know that GitLab use it, so hopefully one of the devs can pop up and say how it handles, but that's a vote of confidence in my book.
