Logaholic Web Analytics announces the official release of Logaholic version 4.1

July 2, 2013
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Logaholic announced today the official release of Logaholic version 4.1.
Included in this brand new version of the web analytics software are all kinds of speed optimizations, new features and other improvements.

One of the key features in Logaholic 4 is the ‘Datamanager’, which helps to keep the database small and fast.
Reports now load much faster than before, especially for high volume sites.

“Logaholic 4.1 offers lightning fast web analytics with tons of new features,” says Michael Erkelens, CEO

Another new feature is Logaholic’s ability to create Infographics.
These are graphical representations of data centered around topics and can be scheduled for weekly emails.
 
And there is more. With the new ‘Inpage Analytics’ statistics can be visualized in order to determine visitor behaviour.
Data is literally displayed IN the user’s website. With inpage analytics people find answers to questions like:
‘Which links are being clicked on?’ or ‘Do visitors really find what they are supposed to find?’

For hosting providers, Logaholic has added a subscription manager. This allows hosting providers to offer Logaholic to end-users with various report packages.

“Logaholic 4.1 represents a huge leap forward in terms of speed, features and usability. For example, users asked if they could get a daily PDF of a dashboard via email. That’s in there now,” says Mark Spier, Technical Manager

As of version 4, it is possible to switch between profiles in the report options. If you use Logaholic for multiple website’s, you can create a custom dashboard where you include all your favorite statistics from those website’s!

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, three default infographics will be available. They’re based around the following themes: Visitor, Content and Traffic.

Inpage Analytics
With the new feature ‘Inpage Analytics’ you’ll be able to make a visual representation of your statistics, in order to determine how people use your website. The data is loaded from your Logaholic account and is literally displayed IN your website. With inpage analytics you’ll find answers to questions like: ‘Which links are being clicked on?’ or ‘Do visitors really find what you want them to find?’

Infographic emails are sent three times a week, each of them comprising different stats.

Subscriptions
By popular request we have added a ‘Subscription’ functionality. This new feature is especially interesting for service providers. With this brand new option in Logaholic, server providers are able to allocate reports to their users. Thus, it becomes possible to put together custom Logaholic report packages for clients.

Several other improvements were made on the global scale to enhance your web analytics experience with Logaholic. Probably the most exciting one is the incredible speed increase in this version. Another improvement is enhanced user agent detection. Also, our PDF creator is much better now.

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!

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.
