WassUp Real Time Analytics

WassUp is a WordPress plugin to analyze your visitors traffic with accurate, real-time stats, lots of detailed chronological information, customizable tracking, live views, visitor and pageview counts, top stats, charts, IP geolocation, map, two aside widgets, and a dashboard widget.

Wassup does in-depth visitor tracking and shows you incredible details about your site’s latest hits…more than you can get from almost any other single plugin. It is very useful for SEO and statistics maniacs who want to see accurate, up-to-date stats displayed in a straightforward, easy to understand manner.

The aim of WassUp is the timely knowledge of what your visitors do when they surf your site. It is not intended to show grouped statistics over preset, long-term time periods like visitors per month, pageviews per quarter, and so on (there are many others tools to better gain that, like Google Analytics). WassUp’s flexible, easy-to-read views are the best for learning the details about your visitors’ latest activities. With it’s customizable filters and search capability, you can drill deeply into the data to learn even more about specific visitors, visitor types, etc.
