Web-Stat – Live Visitor Analytics

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

76 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 54 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Web-Stat est un outil particulièrement complet et facile d’utilisation… La version gratuite et l’occasion d’essayer une version payante pendant quelques semaines est un plus qui m’a fait sauter le pas vers la version payante. Le SAV est particulièrement réactif et très à l’écoute. De tous les outils, même les plus connus, il est mon préféré de très très loin.+++Web-Stat is a particularly complete and easy-to-use tool… The free version and the opportunity to try out a paid version for a few weeks is a plus that made me decide to go for the paid version. The after-sales service is particularly responsive and very attentive. Of all the tools, even the best known, this is my favourite by a long long way.

   I had an issue with a conflict between Wed-stat and another plugin that was causing Web-stat to stop displaying data. Olivier responded very promptly to my support request and was able to identify and resolve the problem quickly. I would not have known where to look. All is functioning well thanks to his responsive and capable support.

   I own a nationwide real estate marketing company, and we first installed Web-Stat about 2-1/2 years ago. It was easily the best web statistics program around (and still is)…but we wanted the additional information provided by the Pro version. I think we upgraded to the pro version around 3 months after using the free version. The Pro version is hands down worth wayyyy more than the $9.95 we pay each month for the amount of information we can see from every single website visit!!! We’re currently averaging between 80-150 visits to our site per day, and Web-Stat shows us EVERYTHING we want to know, and presents it in SUCH a logical and comprehensive manner!! We’ve tried other web analytics plugins in the past (probably 8-10 of them)…and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM can hold a candle to Web-Stat in terms of functionality, ease of use, and presentation. Oh, and the customer service couldn’t be any better!! The response times are quick, and the answers are friendly and thorough! I like that!We’re users for life!! If you’re on the fence about this software, don’t be! You can spend hours and hours installing and testing other analytics programs, but you won’t find one that comes anywhere CLOSE to what Web-Stat offers! Trust me, I’ve already tried!

   I have tried many analytics plugins and they were either underwhelming or overwhelming. WebStat provides detailed analytics in an elegant manner that is easy to digest with data privacy in consideration. They gave a generous premium trial period to test all the settings afterwhich I continued premium with a monthy subscription. Today, I encountered a rare issue which was immediately resolved, so with this level of support, I remain a loyal customer.

   So no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that the email address is transferred from the plugin without consent into a database at the programmer system! Something that must be classified as questionable from the perspective of data protection. I think, if they want to use your eMail address they have to ask for. And if they want to generate a account in your name, they have to ask for. And if they want to collect your data on their local systems… they have to ask for!
