Open Web Analytics (OWA) is open-source web analytics software created by Peter Adams.
OWA is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database, which makes it compatible for running with an AMP solution stack on various web servers.[3]
Overview
OWA is comparable to Google Analytics, though OWA is server software anyone can install and run on their own host, while Google Analytics is a software service offered by Google.[2]
OWA supports tracking with WordPress and MediaWiki, two popular website frameworks.[4] This application helps webmasters keep track of and observe the influx of views on their websites.[5]
The program also tracks the websites of competitors and their company’s growth compared to the site in question.[6]
