PDATE ON TILDE ANALYTICS |
 |
Anyway, for this week I have some updates for the tilde amalytics! |
|
|
|
Updated session tracking |
|
|
|
In order to count unique pageviews the pixel stored the SHA1 hash of the |
|
request IP address. This is not really secure since a) I am sure rainbow |
|
tables for IPv4-SHA1 exist and b) the ip doesn't change, so you can |
|
track an user between session. |
|
|
|
I changed this to something new: a session cookie! |
|
|
|
Now before you start worrying about me tracking users between websites, |
|
I can tell tou that the session cookie does not have a max age set, so |
|
it will expire after the browser is closed. Also it doesn't reveal the |
|
request's ip address so this is the better option! |
|
|
|
New dashboard for viewing analytics |
|
|
|
The current analytics "dashboard" is everything but user friendly. In |
|
order to help the maybe one person that is using this I crafted this |
|
mess of javascript code: |
|
|
|
Find it on my ~town |
|
|
|
How to use this: |
|
|
|
1. Open the left menu |
|
2. Create a new site |
|
3. Add pages to the site with the floating + button |
|
4. ??? |
|
5. Profit! |
|
|
|
Here is a screenshot: |

Anyway, that's all I have for this week. Maybe I'll have some time this |
|
week to start programming some sort of comments system. |
