Over the past months our team has been working hard on a major new version of Logaholic. And we’re happy to announce that it’s almost done! Logaholic 4.0 is soon to be released. This version of the software includes many changes. Please continue reading and learn more about some important new features and improvements.

Speed Optimization

Speed optimization has been a key objective during the development of Logaholic 4. We booked some major results here. From Logaholic version 4, it is no longer necessary to store all your data in a mysql database permanently due to a new flat file storage system. This means you can delete old data from your database, keeping it small and much faster. It also means reports in Logaholic load much faster than before, especially if your have a large site with lots of traffic.

And that’s not the only thing we did to optimize speed within Logaholic. We completely rebuild the update process in both PHP and Perl to get you to your stats even faster.

Inpage Analytics

In addition to speed improvements, some new features were added. One of the most exciting new features of Logaholic 4.0 is Inpage Analytics. As the name suggests, it’s web analytics literally IN your web pages.

Once you activate inpage analytics on your website, you will be able to get all the essential page statistics (like click through rates, visitor trends and so on) while you browse your site. No need to visit the Logaholic application!

In the video below we tried to give you a first impression (view in HD mode for best results).

Infographics

Another great new feature is Logaholic’s ability to create Infographics.

These are graphical representations of your data centered around topics, so you can have all important statistics at your fingertips. In Logaholic 4.0, three default infographics will be available. They’re based around the following themes: Visitor, Content and Traffic.

You can send them automatically to your email account, showing your recent statistics without having to log into Logaholic. Emails are sent three times a week, each of them containing another Logaholic infographic.

The screenshot on the right gives you an idea of how your data will be visualized in a Logaholic infographic.

Automated PDF reports

You can now not only generate PDF versions of your dashboards on the fly, you can also schedule them to be delivered to any email address daily, weekly or monthly. Great if you need to keep those darn managers up to date with some carefully selected reports 🙂

Logaholic 4 is about to release very soon. We’ll let you know as soon as we get there. Make sure to keep up with this blog and you’ll definitely be the first to know about it.
