How it Works E-mail
Technology Overview
Stats in a box uses a sophisticated, browser-based, tracking system to identify and track visitors through your website. With this system, Stats in a box is able to identify details about your website visitors, where visitors go in your website, and what they do while in the website.

To install Stats in a Box, you add a JavaScript tracking code to each web page you wish to track, and upload a JavaScript include file to your web server. Stats in a Box generates a unique JavaScript tracking code and JavaScript include file for each project.

How Stats in a Box works:
  1. A visitor loads a web page, which contains the Stats in a Box tracking script;
  2. The tracking script gathers data about the web page and visitor and forwards this information to the IndexTools Data Center. Our application servers process this data and archive it in a central database;
  3. You log in to Stat in a Box using a web browser and view your web performance reports in real-time.
Serving even the highest volume websites
Stats in a Box operates on a proprietary database backend, custom-designed for websites generating upwards of one hundred million page views per month. This technology allows us to comfortably serve even the most demanding, high volume clients.

On-demand tracking and reporting
Stats in a Box is an on-demand service, which means our servers perform all the tracking, data processing and reporting in real time – unlike conventional logfile analysis softwares which cannot. An additional advantage is you can log in and access your Stats in a Box reports from anywhere using a web browser.

No software to download, no upgrades
Since Stats in a Box is remotely hosted, there is no software to download or install. This means no wasted time setting up, maintaining or analyzing complex log files required by other web analytics services. Simply add our JavaScript tracking code to each page you wish to track. You don’t need to hire additional staff to analyze log files or run software applications, because Stats in a Box does the work for you.
