I am searching for a program like Google Analytics or Clicky which runs on my own servers. I have used awstats, which looks really old. It doesn't have to be open source but I would prefer something free. If possible it should also analyse my Apache Logs. ...
What makes a site good for high traffic? Does it have more to do with the hardware/infrastructure, or with how one writes the software, using Java as the example, if it matters? I'm wondering how the software changes just because it is expected that billions of users will be on the site, if at all. My understanding up to this point is th...
I'm working on someone else's project that makes heavy use of tableAdapters. The site works but It regular adds an entry in the Event log : "ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is connecting. " The site doesn't throw an exception though unless there is high traffic (5+ request...

On an ASP.NET site, what are some techniques that could be used to track how many users are logged in to the site at any given point in time? So for example, I could produce a report showing something like this: 10:00am 11:00am 12:00pm 1:00pm 2:00pm .... 3/25 25 32 45 40 37 3/26 31 38 ...

Without using any other JS frameworks (dojo, jquery, etc), how would I dynamically load Google Analytic's javascript to be used on a web page for web-tracking?

How do I display localhost traffic in Fiddler while debugging an ASP.NET application? ...
I'd like to display the size of each request in the session list of fiddler. What I tried so far, was to add a custom column in the CustomRules.js file: public static BindUIColumn("RequestSize") function CalcMethodCol(oS: Session) { if (null != oS.requestBodyBytes) return oS.requestBodyBytes.Length; //this is the relevant line e...
I am working on a project using Ruby on Rails and I need to monitor web requests to generate traffic analytics (hits, unique visitors etc), but I have been instructed that using an external service, such as Google Analytics, is unacceptable (don't ask me why, I may break down and cry). I can however, use a plug in or anything else which...
I have a site running Google analytics and I end up being a large fraction of the traffic to it (like 1 of the 2 hits per day). Is there any way I can set it so that my browsing doesn't skew the numbers so much? I'd be happy if it just didn't record anything for accesses that are logged in as my Google account. ...

I have been curious to what other developers with popular and somewhat to highly optimized apps have been paying with relation to the amount traffic generated in general. I am aware of the unit cost for the resources and that resource requirements per app vary. What is your insight into the cost/traffic/resources of yours or others App...
Guys, I want to build an e-commerce site on asp.net. My query is: when two users simultaneously buy something, how would the two records get inserted in my database? Would there be a lock? Can anyone explain how this would be or can be handled. Also, I want to handle peak traffic and also control the average data allotted to each user...
I'm considering writing my own tool for tracking visitors/sales as Google Analytics and others are just not comprehensive enough in the data dept. They have nice GUIs but if you have SQL skills those GUIs are unnecessary. I'm wondering what the best approach is to do this. I could simply just log the IP, etc to a text file and then ha...
Is there a way to check if a browser of a visitor has the Alexa toolbar installed? This might probably be done via JavaScript. Doing this would give us the possibility to somewhat compensate for the bias of the Alexa rating of a site. See e.g. Alexa Toolbar and the Problem of Experiment Design Especially outside of the USA the Alexa to...
I'm working on a website with reasonably heavy traffic and I'm looking into using a CSS sprite to reduce the number of image loads in its design.
