I’ve been testing and testing site stats ever since Mint 2 came out. I didn’t really want to pay for the upgrade so I ran though a few different services and put them though the tests. I was looking for a quick way to access my visitor stats and in the end, Mint is the best stats program I can find.
No, Mint isn’t another new offering from Mozilla, but rather well designed stats package for your website. Not only does it look good, it’s also very easy to use and extendable!
Mint costs $30 and you install it your webserver. It’s PHP based and requires a database but it’s really simple to setup and use. Once installed, you instantly start tracking page views, unique visitors and referrers. Need more information? That’s where Mint excels.
Much like Firefox, Mint comes with the basics already installed. However, some want more functionality. Firefox has the ability to install extensions to perform various tasks where as Mint has the ability to install Peppers to gather more information.
