Best Free Site Analysis Software ⏁ For Windows With Free Additional Software.

Website Analytics Software Choices

When it comes to software code that will give you detailed feedback of your websites visitors, there are quite a few choices out there. There are basically two types of website analytics programs

1. Third Party Hosted Analytics: these are analytics apps where the code resides on another website. Their servers do all the work and host all the data. You simply plop a few lines of javascript code on your blog or website and they do the rest. To view the data you log in to their website with your account. Examples of these types of web log analytics programs include:
   • Google Analytics.
   • Web Stats.
2. Self Hosted Web Analytics: these type of analytics software apps you install on your own web server. You log in to a page on your own website or blog to view detailed visitor information. Examples of these type of web log analytics include:
   • Matomo(formerly Piwik).
   • Open Web Analytics.

Tawk.to application is advertised as a software program that allows you to communicate with your website visitors, live, in real time. Although Tawk.to is extremely robust and one of the best chat applications, here is the description, from their website, about the live visitor analytics features:

Without a doubt, Tawk.to website visitor statistics and analytics is not anywhere as in depth as the other ones mentioned above but you may not need an analytics program that is that in depth. Decide for yourself.

What I like best about Tawk.to is that you are killing two birds with one stone. This is good, website performance-wise because each script that has to be called and every plug in loaded is another object that slows down the rendering of your websites pages. When you can bundle both the chat application and website visitor analytics in one swoop, it just makes good sense.
