Statcounter provides real-time website analytics covering visitor activity, location, device, navigation path, and visit history. Its dashboard reports traffic sources, engagement, system statistics, popular pages, and exit links. Session Replay lets users review recorded browsing sessions, while interactive heatmaps show attention areas and clicks on elements that are not links. Conversion tracking measures the share of landing-page visitors who meet a site goal, and paid traffic analysis identifies repeat ad clicks by IP address. Google Ads integration connects campaign details with visitor sessions; Premium Plus includes that integration and UTM campaign tracking. Statcounter also offers mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows, with alerts when individual visitors return. Installation uses a code snippet, with guides for more than 70 platforms. The free Basic plan covers 5,000 sessions monthly and retains data for 14 days.
