# Hit Counter/Visitor Tracking Performance

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](http://www.grabperf.org/homepage.php?page=compare&test=11&days=1&msmts=11,170).

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](http://www.grabperf.org/homepage.php?page=compare&test=171&days=1&msmts=11,170,171).

***UPDATE [18:01 GMT]:*** I added ShinyStat to the list. New graph is [here](http://www.grabperf.org/homepage.php?page=compare&test=171&days=1&msmts=11,170,171,172).
