- Liriel 7y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but this is just for web server statistics? How does it help you with blogging?
- velcrovan 7y agoI've been planning to switch to goaccess (from piwik/matomo) for my personal sites. Do you have any tips? Generally I just want to know trends in unique pageviews/visitors; whether any page in particular is seeing a lot of referred traffic and from where, and what paths people are taking through the site once they arrive. I like the purity of going solely with log analysis, but I'm a bit concerned I won't get quite as much visibility.
- joshyi 7y agoI'd say start with the basic command of goaccess and then you can add extra options to the command line as needed. We have ours on a big display at our office running real time with only the most relevant panels that fit our needs. Overall the stats are pretty accurate, we did some tedious/manual analysis of our weekly access log and the counts displayed by goaccess are on a par with our data results.
- AndrewStephens 7y agoGoaccess is great in theory but I found that it does not have good protection against miscounting bots as users. But even GA has that problem.
