3. PIWIK WEB ANALYTICS
SourceForge.net-hosted projects and developers host their content in a
variety of places, including our Project Web service, our Developer Web
service, and external web sites. It’s often unclear how many people you
are actually are actually reaching with your pages, and even more often
unclear where those users are in the world, what OS they are using, or how
long they are spending reading your pages. This is where web analytics
solutions come in to play.
SourceForge.net has launched the Matomo web analytics solution as part of
our growing Hosted Apps and Hosted Apps for Developers offerings, allowing
projects and developers to tag their web pages and obtain a comprehensive
set of analytics about their traffic. Matomo offers several ways to view
your analytics data, including dashboards, APIs and widgets that can be
embedded in your web pages — much more useful than a simple page counter.
