Download AWStats – Powerful Web Server Log Analysis Tool

AWStats is a free, open-source web analytics tool that generates detailed visual reports from web server, FTP, mail, and streaming server log files. Unlike JavaScript-based analytics platforms, AWStats processes raw server logs directly, capturing all traffic including bots, crawlers, and visits from browsers with JavaScript disabled.

It produces comprehensive reports covering page views, unique visitors, bandwidth usage, referring URLs, search keywords, operating systems, browsers, and geographic data — all presented in a clean, navigable HTML interface. AWStats is compatible with Apache, IIS, Nginx, and other major server platforms.

Widely used by web administrators and hosting providers, AWStats runs as a CGI script or command-line tool and can be scheduled to update reports automatically. It is an excellent choice for server-side analytics without relying on external services or tracking scripts.

Key Features

• Server-side log parsing – Analyzes raw log files directly without requiring JavaScript tracking snippets on your website.
• Multi-server support – Works with Apache, IIS, Nginx, Lighttpd, and other major web servers.
• Detailed traffic reports – Tracks page views, unique visitors, bandwidth, entry/exit pages, and session duration.
• Bot and crawler detection – Identifies and separates human traffic from known bots and search engine crawlers.
• Geo-location data – Shows visitor distribution by country with flag icons and percentage breakdowns.
• Search engine and keyword tracking – Reports which search engines and keywords drove traffic to your site.
• FTP and mail log support – Analyzes FTP transfer logs and mail server logs in addition to HTTP traffic.
