    Hi folks

    I am not sure if this is the right forum for this but...

    Is there any tool out there that can track & summarise a user's visit to a website using the Apache logs? In other words, showing each page from their point of entry (including the referering page) until their visit ended.

    I know there are plenty of stats generators out there, but I am looking to be able to drill down to individual visitors. I could just trawl through the raw logs but I have a lot of data to check and I'm thinking it could make my eyes turn to mush...

    Prefereably freeware ;)

    Thanks!

    Google Analytics is your only man! Forget the logs.

    Google Analytics seems to miss out on an awful lot... Other sources say my site gets way more hits than Google Analytics says...

    It's a wordpress site - using the "Ultimate Google Analytics" plugin

    You might want to think about loading it manually using the async method and loading it early on the page in order to get a high catch rate.
