Hi, Is there somewhere in EE of seeing number of visitors etc? (I’m not talking about members as I’m not using that feature, just external hits to pages). Thanks Mark

I believe you are looking for the stats tag

{total_guests} I believe is what you are looking for.

Thanks for your reply. Possibly, although maybe I can get the data from awstats in cPanel - I’ve no idea if that’ll work with EE.

Also, the Stats tag seems to be version 6 whereas I’m using version 5 - is there anything in version 5 do you know?

Best regards, Mark

This looks like it’s suitable for v5 view-tracking

Also, standard procedure for web servers is to maintain a log of requests. (I know where the apache2 log file resides)

But, If you were to filter the log with a regular expression to match only request to a certain URL, then by user agent IP address, that would give you a somewhat accurate count.

Did you say you are working on AWS?
