Use with WP Stats Modules - NOT Remote Stats
Posted: December 13th, 2011, 3:23 pm
Hello, we use and like Quick Cache on our public company technical article site, currently running WordPress 3.3. We quit using remote statistics gathering packages such as Google Analytics and Xiti a while back when we figured out that visitors with script blocking and other browser security features would not be accurately analyzed in our stats. We have been trying to find a WordPress Stats Plugin that will work to gather stats correctly while using Quick Cache.
So far, none we have tried do this, or we cannot figure out how to make it work. The latest stats package we have tried, and currently have installed, is Statpress Visitors ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/statpress-visitors/ ) but it too seems to not gather stats correctly with Quick Cache enabled. I can determine this by disabling Quick Cache for a day and then comparing stat results with a previous day that was using Quick Cache. The results are significantly different. With Quick Cache we see stats for a few hundred visits, without Quick Cache it is a few thousand visits. Our web host's visit logs prove this as well since that completely by-passes the plugins and uses raw logs from the server. But that does not give us the detail we want and can have with a WordPress stats plugin.
Please inform me of a WordPress statistics plugin that you know will work with Quick Cache. Thank you.
