Analytics would slow a site down even more IMO. Adding one additional query to every page load should not effect any performance at all. Update pageviews = pageviews +1 where page = thisPage

This can be true in certain circumstances but from running analytics only spike i got is when i first added the code. but with adding an entry to the database every page load would definitely increase database size and personally just find unnecessary when analytics works so much better. also the data would be very inaccurate without extensive checking as 1 user could just be refreshing the page this would give you no actual data to go from. each person has their own opinion but i will always stick to analytics

We would be updating an entry every load. I doubt people have more then 100 pages on a game. So less then 100 entries top. Not much data. As far as a user keep refreshing, theres always an idiot, but that could always be fixed by only updating the view after an action in performed. Which would be better anyway since its about how often a feature is used, not viewed.

 

Analytics is great. Very detailed, but this a very simple solution(which i woukd prefer to track how many times a feature is used) and don't need to lend your game to view it.  I would reset it personally after new features are added or start new logging. And list % instead of just actions.
