“best apache log analyzer plugin for WordPress”
This is a joke question, right?
If not, no offense, but you’re probably new to the web. And if so, you probably should know that Apache logs actually pick up and log:
- Search Engine bots (not just Google: any bot, and there are many, many, many…)
- Comment spam bots
- Ping spam bots
- Referral spam bots
- Other spam bots
- More spam bots
- Did I mention spam bots yet?
- Oh yeah, there might be a few more I forgot…
Seriously though, the only thing you should be using for analytics is Google Analytics or an equivalent (and expensive) piece of software). Unless, of course, you’re the only one who actually sees the latter and are not ashamed to tell your customer that his recently search optimized site now has 10k uniques per month — in spite of the fact that GA tells you that your actual traffic is around 100 real visitors per month. (Seen in real life, don’t laugh.)
Re your secondary question, for bandwidth just use the host’s default analyzer (usually webanalyzer or equivalent, which for this purpose is arguably good since it includes spam bots).
