I’m just testing a new web analytics approach: Woopra
What is Woopra?
Woopra is the world’s most comprehensive, information rich, easy to use, real-time Web tracking and analysis application. And it’s free!
Woopra is an amazing tool to see live stats of your blog or small webpage, you can see live visitors, click streams. Woopra show you in an easy way, where your visitors come from.
The integration with Worpress was easy: just downloaded their wordpress plugin (one file), waited 24 hours that Woopra approved by website to track (they do that manually), configured my Website ID in Woopra’s Plugin and started to track – quite easy.
Woopra offers an interesting approach with a java client application to get well designed analytics dashboard to get details of your current visitors.
This client application is much faster than for examples the web based application of IndexTools (Indextools was bought by Yahoo in April 2008).
I’m not sure, how Woopra scale with large Enterprise-grade web applications with Millions clicks a day, as Indextools does.
I think for small-sized webpages and blogs Woopra seems to be the easiest and best choice.
I didn’t found any customizable options at Woopra to track for example client-specific data like billingIds, orderIds etc.
Just now Woopra is in beta stadium, they offer a bug report forum, good for companies who offer software. I would recommend to use bug tracker like JIRA to search and find reported bugs easier.
One disadvantage i found is the CPU consuming java client, they need to analyze and refactor it.
Under Ubuntu 8.04 and Java 1.6.0_06 it took nearly 100% CPU with very small blog and few data updates. I don’t know what this client needs to calculate and has so much CPU usage!?
I will monitor their next beta and next development steps of Woopra.
For this beta stadium: good work from you guys at Woopra!
