How it works
Technology Overview

IndexTools uses a sophisticated, browser-based, tracking system to identify and track visitors through your website. With this system, IndexTools is able to identify details about your website visitors, where visitors go in your website, and what they do while in the website.

IndexTools now also provide an improved level of reporting accuracy by using first party cookie technology, which ensures that a greater number of returning users and user actions are tracked and reported more accurately than with third party cookie.

To install IndexTools, you add a JavaScript tracking code to each web page you wish to track, and upload a JavaScript include file to your web server. IndexTools generates a unique JavaScript tracking code and JavaScript include file for each project.

How IndexTools works:
  1. A visitor loads a web page, which contains the IndexTools tracking script;
  2. The tracking script gathers data about the web page and visitor and forwards this information to the IndexTools Data Center. Our application servers process this data and archive it in a central database;
  3. You log in to IndexTools using a web browser and view your web performance reports in real-time.

 

Serving even the highest volume websites
IndexTools operates on a proprietary database backend, custom-designed for websites generating upwards of one hundred million page views per month. This technology allows us to comfortably serve even the most demanding, high volume clients.
On-demand tracking and reporting
IndexTools is on-demand services, which means our servers perform all the tracking, data processing and reporting in real time - unlike conventional logfile analysis softwares which cannot. An additional advantage is you can log in and access your IndexTools reports from anywhere using a web browser.
No software to download, no upgrades
Since IndexTools is remotely hosted, there is no software to download or install. This means no wasted time setting up, maintaining or analyzing complex log files required by other web anyalytics services. Simply add our JavaScript tracking code to each page you wish to track. You don't need to hire additional staff to analyze log files or run software applications, because IndexTools does the work for you.
