You’ll notice that I have added the SiteMeter and StatCounter logos to the sidebar. Yes, I am a stats freak, but I also wanted to monitor how quickly each of these two services can deliver a page of basic stats to someone who clicks on the links.

So far, you can see the performance difference here.

I know that there are other services out there, and if you can think of one you use that i have forgotten, drop an e-mail or a comment. I want to create a site analytics benchmark, and also do some analysis of the differences in values captured by each of the services.

UPDATE [17:31 GMT]: I added OneStat to the list. New graph is here.

UPDATE [18:01 GMT]: I added ShinyStat to the list. New graph is here.
