Image slideshow and Google Analytics

March 18, 2008 · Filed Under ImageSlideshow, joomla, webtech · Comment 

Have to say that pushing Image Slideshow up onto the Joomla! extensions site was an interesting exercise, didn’t think it was quite ready but as I had just updated this site with a new plaything… Google Analytics, I wanted to see what would happen.

 As much as I love and hate Google, they are the biggest web search engine around and have free and interesting tools to see what is happening with your website. Lots of interesting statistics which I have yet to understand the meaning behind  but one simple one was very interesting.

60% of the people who came to the site use FireFox, 30% on IE, the other 10% on Opera, Safari and Mozilla and some other obscure or niche browsers. I know the audience for J! is kinda skewed towards the technical types like myself  but a 2:1 in favour of Firefox was a little surprising to me… or maybe I just need to get out more!
