Hello Soylentils. I work in the IT Department of a mid sized utility company. Our engineering department requested that we use Google Analytics to track how people are hitting certain pages, from where, and whether or not they are getting to pages from links on our website or directly. A co worker found that Google Analytics can get expensive. Does anyone have any experience with any FOSS alternatives such as the ones listed in the article below?

    They run some client-side JavaScript to log things like how long you spend on each page and fingerprint individual users so that you can tell how they navigate between pages. This is really useful for usability studies on your web site: Are people visiting the front page and leaving? Where are they actually trying to go? Are they spending a long time on a particular page that they only find after a lot of searching?
