SHORT DESCRIPTION

Piwik is an open source web analytics platform.

Piwik displays reports regarding the geographic location of visits, the source of visits (i.e. whether they came from a website, directly, or something else), the technical capabilities of visitors (browser, screen size, operating system, etc.), what the visitors did (pages they viewed, actions they took, how they left), the time of visits and more.

In addition to these reports, Piwik provides some other features that can help users analyze the data Piwik accumulates, such as:

* Annotations — the ability to save notes (such as one's analysis of data) and attach them to dates in the past.
* Transitions — a feature similar to Click path-like features that allows one to see how visitors navigate a website, but different in that it only displays navigation information for one page at a time.
* Goals — the ability to set goals for actions it is desired for visitors to take (such as visiting a page or buying a product). Piwik will track how many visits result in those actions being taken.
* E-commerce — the ability to track if and how much people spend on a website.
* Page Overlay — a feature that displays analytics data overlaid on top of a website.
* Row Evolution — a feature that displays how metrics change over time within a report.
* Custom Variables — the ability to attach data, like a user name, to visit data.
