NewStatPress is a new version of StatPress that was the first real-time plugin dedicated to the management of statistics about blog visits. It collects information about visitors, spiders, search keywords, feeds, browsers etc. Once the plugin NewStatPress has been activated it immediately starts to collect statistics information. Using NewStatPress you could spy your visitors while they are surfing your blog or check which are the preferred pages, posts and categories. In the Dashboard menu you will find the NewStatPress page where you could look up the statistics (overview or detailed). NewStatPress also includes a widget one can possibly add to a sidebar (or easy PHP code if you can’t use widgets!). With the new ajax/javascript usage for variables in widget, the plugin is faster for a user being visit your site even with 1GB or more of database to use! (requires the External API be enabled in NewStatPress>Options>API) IMPORTANT: all previous versions from 1.0.4 are subject to XSS and SQL injection from an old Statpress routine.
