Hi Folks,
New StatCounter System – In Beta
We have been working on the new and improved StatCounter SC4 system…now we need your help to test it.
A lot of changes have been made ‘under the hood’ and won’t be immediately apparent; however some of the immediate benefits include:
- Faster Loading Keyword and Country Stats
- Exit Link Stats
- Download Stats
MOST importantly the new system paves the way for other exciting new features … so watch this space!
How do I try out SC4?
It’s easy!
You need to create a new test project. This code should be added underneath your existing StatCounter code.
Note that you should retain your existing StatCounter code for now… Once the new system is fully operational we’ll convert all projects over to SC4 automatically.
To get started:
- Login to StatCounter with the “remember me” option
- Point your browser at this URL
http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/add.php?sc4=1 - If successful the form should now read “BETA TEST SC4 PROJECT SETTINGS” then proceed as normal to install this new code below your current code.
(Note that if you logout and login again you will be directed back to the current StatCounter system.)
Thanks for your help with this – and we’d be delighted to have your feedback posted to the comments of this blog post.
UPDATE: Thanks for all the feedback so far. As the comments are getting a bit crowded we’ve created a new forum for you to discuss your ideas. Please click here to get talking about SC4! (Note: you need to register a forum account in order to post.)
Let the testing begin!
StatCounter Team
Same is happening to me for the last 2-3 days, the new one (EG, today) has so far only shown 4 visitors while the original one has just over 50.
This shows you are a really great company. Always thinking an improving yourselves.
I’m testing it now. will report for anything..
Good job SC team!
@Paceon:
same here… the old counter is showing a few houndred page loads, and the new one is showing only two page loads.
I took the option to be a tester and just wondering: is it no more working?? While the “old” counter is showing visits etc. the new one no more….
Seen it in particular with a Shark video that creates some traffic on my blog.In general thanks for a great free service. I try several different ones but you are the best for a “weekend-warrior” like me…
Good job, but it will be even better if we have the following stats as well:
1) the language of the operating system the visitor is using
2) visitor’s time zone
3) visitor’s time
I include your Offer of Testing !

Ok this seems like a quite a small challange…
anyway i’m in.
😉
I am not sure that I am getting into the new version, when I log in it still says testers required, but any that programme is great what ever I am looking at, thanks
The address that the beta is using continues to fail out, preventing some of my site pages from loading. The count different varies radically – some days beta is far higher than the regular number, other days like today, the beta is far lower. Just giving feedback.
What the heck, always game for a challenge, let me at it!
Hey count me in too. Thanks
Upload to test it now.
Iam beta tester 😀
its very good 🙂
i offer myself
I would like to become a test team member.
My dad used to say, “Never volunteer for anything”!
I’ll make an exception for this though as I’m curious to see how it works.
Thats great news! I want to be in too, but no success till the day.
Thanks
Alright, there’s at least a difference of four entries between my regular project and the beta. Also, I visited my blog via Google’s cache and only the OLD StatCounter project detected it. The new one never picked it up.
I’ll be back if I see other such discrepancies.
