NEW Woopra Web Analytics Released!
We’ve got a big announcement for you guys today! As you’re aware, we’ve been making great advancements in the Woopra client application with the Woopra 1.3 Release Candidate, and we’re getting so much great feedback that we’re going to add a few more features before pushing it out to everyone.
While we’ve been paying attention to the desktop we don’t want you to think we’ve forgotten about your needs when you are away from your computer! As Lorelle recently hinted, today we’re announcing general availability for the latest thing to come from the iFusion Labs… Woopra Web-based Analytics!
So, what’s the big deal about Web analytics, right? I mean lots of people have that! Well, not like this!
The new Woopra Web Analytics incorporate many of the features you love about the desktop client right into a Web based applet including:
- LIVE visitor reporting! That’s right, the Web analytics are Live, all the time. Your visitor count and daily stats are continuously updated while you use it.
- Real time visitor mapping! Thanks to Google’s generous API, we are able to overlay your visitor data right on a map with complete Google Map functionality. Like the ability to zoom into street level on a particular visitor! In testing I found it to be accurate to within about a 10 mile radius. Keep in mind it’s not the visitor’s location, but the location of the visitors Internet up-connect point.
- Segmentation analysis: When you only want to look at the statistics for a certain user group, like only Firefox users, or only users from the US, you can create a filter to see that data.
- Complete historical stats: You can run full historical reports complete with variable graphing from within the Web analytics. For example, the report below is from the Visitors tab, showing Tagged visitors within a specific date range.
Viewing the New Woopra Web Analytics
If you’d like to see your site’s analytics using the Web applet:
- Visit the Woopra Members area.
- Next to the website you’d like to check, click View Stats.
- It will popup a window and load the visual web version of Woopra stats.
You must have Flash enabled for this to work. If you are using a Flash blocker, add woopra.com to your whitelist.
Eventually we will also update the WordPress Plugin to allow these stats to be embedded within your WordPress blog in place of the older version, and we’ll also make it available to developers so other popular CMS, Forums and plugin-enabled sites can have the same functionality.
A few things to keep in mind!
- The new Web based analytics have been tested by a small group of people across Linux, Mac and PCs using Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome and IE. There are some slight variations across the different platforms, but everything seems to be working so far.
- Considering that this is a brand new extension of the service, I’m 100% certain that there are going to be things that don’t work for some people. Please be patient and report any bugs over on the Forums in the post on Web Analytics App Feedback and Bug Reports.
- We’ve got additional functionality planned for the Web analytics, but if you have suggestions for us, please let us know!
I hope everyone enjoys this new functionality as much as I do. I’ve had the good fortune to be able to play with it throughout the development and it really comes in handy when you’re away from your desktop.
Cheers!
Wow! Looks great!!! It may be heresy to say, but in some ways the interface is a lot cleaner and easier to read than the desktop version (less crowded).
In any case, fantastic!!!

This is fantastic! Woopra was always a great solution since you have a desktop client on Windows, OS X and Linux, but now I can check my statistics at school, in the library, or in the lab too! Thank you!
It may be nice to make Woopra like a Facebook social network so we can connect with other webmasters.
@yvonh: The @woopramembers twitter is a good place to meet other Woopra members and webmasters, as is the Woopra forums. Woopra is still in its infancy, so who knows where we will take it. :D
Very beautiful interface.
Thanks! I like it :-)
Maybe you should have a look at the root of http://analytics.woopra.com/ because there Tomcat shows its default pages ;-)
Excellent addition! I really like the new feature. Plus I needed it so much… Simply great! Thanks and keep up with great work!
Then why is mine never connecting? I get 6 orange blocks, a long time wait and then ‘Connection Failed! Re-Connecting…’ Refresh does never work.
@challenge: This has been reported in the forums. Are you following the testing and possible solutions there?
Hi Guys,
Excellent work, keep the releases coming.. quick question.. do you have an API / White label version anywhere in your roadmap :)
cheers

Good Dashboard Layout, and I love the calendar feature but like to see parameters in the box.
Looks nice – almost Google Analytics like! ;)
Would like the program to have a look like this. The dark interface (especially in 1.3RC) is a bit too much for me.
The date on my Web Analytics is a good 48 hrs ahead. Today is Wednesday, and so the date on my Web Analytics is Friday.
I like Woopra much better than Google Analytics– this is great!
I would like to use and evaluate the whole talent of Woopra in Japan. I woked for Digital Forest and directed the development and operation division, and translated the book of “Web Hack” into Japanese. So, I have good knowledge on Web analytics and on Web marketing. I have developed the mobile web analytics system in Japan. When you are interested in the mobile, please search the Japanese Key word “モバイルアクセス解析 (Mobairu-Akusesu-Kaiseki)” on google, you can easily find my article of the mobile web analytics. I will help some feedback to you throuth the experience of the new Woopra.

you guys rock. It’s really the little things. My blog gets killer traffic in the morning – now I can quantify it and try and level out the other day parts. I can watched in real time last week when we had a post hit the front page of reddit.
Incredible.
It is hard to describe how interesting it is to watch the velocity and throughput of the site – you watch accumulation and attrition – movements between pages, it’s all there as it happens. Without this – I wouldn’t have the nuanced understanding of what drove those 10k hits that one day – nor would I have an appreciation for what it means to be at the top of the 2nd page at reddit (1-150 hits every two minutes) vs the absolute bottom of hte front page (220-280 hits every two minutes)….
Now… back to writing killer content :)
go woopra!
Is it possible to just use Web based analytics ? I am not so big fan of computer based stat because i change computers often and i close up my computer often. Or if the base information is saved in server it makes more sense so i can check my information from random computers.
Will there be stat information in client that does not exist in web-based version?
When using the Woopra client, you are not actually downloading information to a single computer. You are still accessing all of the information off of the servers in the data center. So you can access it from multiple computers at different locations and always see the same thing.
This method of access is far more powerful than simple web based stats.

My web analytics look way different – as in crappier. Is it possible I’m being sent to an older version of the analytics?
Woopra automatically updates, so there are no older versions of Woopra. How does it compare to the screenshots in our Woopra FAQ? http://www.woopra.com/faq/
