"How many people are visiting my site? Where are they coming from? What pages are they spending time on? How did they find my site? Do I have broken links on my site?"

You can find the answer to all of these questions and more on our Website Statistics Server, which uses a program called Analog to process your website's log files and summarize that information for you.

Getting Your Website Statistics

"So how do I view my website's info?"

Once your website "goes live" within Gato, you'll be able to view site statistics here on our Website Statistics Server: http://stats.its.txstate.edu/

Websites still developing within Gato, but not yet live, will not be able to see site statistics for their site, but may view other website's statistics. Site statistics are updated weekly, at 4 a.m. each Sunday morning.

Understanding Your Website Statistics

"Wow, that's a lot of information! How do I make sense of it all?"

If you'd like to learn more about how to use these statistics, your can sign up for Web Metrics: Understanding Your Site Statistics, our workshop that tells you how to make the most of these data.

You can also read Analog's "What the results mean" website, which explains how the web works, gives a summary of analog's reports and what they contain and defines important terms.
