I'm now on "A small orange" hosting provider. Looks like guys are good guys and before switching me off they promise to notify :) Hope it will be so. Thanks for good tips, Adam!

I haven't had the opportunity to try it myself, since Google Analytics is meeting my needs so far. I'm glad to hear that it's a good product that's working well for you. Not everyone can wait months for a Google Analytics invite; it's good news that there's a high-quality, low-cost alternative out there. Regarding high-load performance: ST is PHP application that gathers stats using JavaScript. The PHP program runs on your web server, so as traffic increases the demand on your server will also increase. The ST user guide indicates that <a href="http://www.zend.com/products/zend_optimizer" rel="nofollow">Zend Optimizer</a> can improve performance, so you might want to talk to your hosting provider about whether this is installed already or can be added to your hosting service. In the end, it's your web host which will decide how much resource consumption is "too much." I recommend you work closely with them as you go forward with your web site.

The only thing I'm still not sure - what will be ST behavior on ehavy loads. For now my product site is in development stage and I don't have too much visitors except testers. I'll let you know "live" results when I'll get them. Cheers! I would like to say a few words as a happy customer :)

Stuffed Tracker is a website traffic/conversion analysis tool I wrote about before. We have been using it successfully for the last two months and we are really happy with it. If you need something faster and/or something you can host yourself, give Stuffed Tracker a try as an alternative to Google Analytics.

And for calling us "Russian madmen" -- we really liked that! :) I just wanted to comment that we never really wanted to take on Google. When the development of Stuffed Tracker started back in January 2005 -- there was no free Google Analytics on the market yet. But we do not regret that we've developed and continue to improve our own statistics software. The simple reason is that we are not targeting at taking some measurable share from Google in the web statistics market. We are a small company, we want to remain small in the future and we are lucky to have enough companies and individual interested in Stuffed Tracker to make it's further development interesting to us. Having said that, I must also note that in our opinion we have certain advantages over Google. The most important one is that we listen to everyone of our customers and react fast. You can tell us an idea of a great feature that you think Stuffed Tracker needs and it is quite possible that it will appear in the next version of the product. We believe that over time, with the help of the actual users of the product that tell us their great ideas, Stuffed Tracker will continue to evolve and will remain a nice smart software package that it is today. Thanks again for the review! Adam,
