A Drupal simple web analytics solution
Drupal core has a Statistics module that only reports when and how many times a page was viewed. It's enough to give you an idea of your most popular pages, but not much more.
The reason may be that developing a complete web analytics solution that also scales is technically tricky, and since there are already external tools that are free and very popular, Drupal doesn't have a tremendous native offering in this field, like we are used to having. Let's check the list of modules that can get you the information you need if your needs are just the basics.
The Statistics module includes a Popular content block that displays the most viewed pages (today and for all time) and the last viewed content. To use the block, do the following:
- Enable the Statistics core module.
- Enable the Count content views option on the statistics settings page at
/admin/config/system/statistics.
