OREM, Utah (July 12, 2001) - "Many Web sites significantly undercount their Web traffic numbers," said Brett Error, chief technology officer of MyComputer.com. "MyComputer.com's 'cache-busting' technology helps solve this problem, and offers businesses the world's most accurate Web analysis available today."
The cache-busting technology, integrated in MyComputer.com's SuperStats, accurately tracks the number of unique visitors and page views that a Web site receives, regardless if the page content is stored in cache memory.
Caching describes the process that Internet architects employ to keep Web sites running quickly by storing frequently visited Web content locally or on a proxy server. When visitors return to a cached Web page, the page is able to load faster than if it had to be resent over the Internet. The caching process, however, can dramatically affect Web site usage statistics since a visitor may view a Web site without being detected by the original Web server. In fact, in a test that involved more than 200,000 different Web sites, MyComputer.com found that caching caused up to 60 percent of total page views to go unrecorded using traditional methods.
SuperStats, on the other hand, uniquely allows Web site managers to track every time a page is viewed regardless if the page content has been cached or not, unlike other competing remotely hosted solutions or log file analysis software.
"Through rigorous testing and browser technology analysis, SuperStats maintains superior data accuracy no matter where or how Web content is cached," Error said. "MyComputer.com's high-profile clients demand unflinching precision, and SuperStats is able to meet their needs without compromising the privacy or security of their Web sites and without exorbitant costs or unmanageable software updates."
SuperStats delivers robust Web analytics along with ease of implementation for enterprises to measure key business metrics and improve the return on investment of their Web sites. Novell, for example, relies upon SuperStats.
"While using SuperStats to track the Novell.com site over the last year, we have been continuously impressed with the integrity of the data we receive," said Kurt Pulham, Project Manager of Web Development, Novell. "With SuperStats, we're confident in the accuracy of our statistics and know that every page view and visitor is tracked in real-time without compromising the privacy or security of our site."
