Script: Piwik

Piwik is widely considered the best freely distributed alternative to Google's market-leading  web analytics service.

Developed on a PHP and MySQL frame, Piwik can practically do almost anything Google Analytics can, but allowing the user to host his stats and have total access to them on his own server. To activate tracking, Piwik needs, just like Google Analytics, for the webmaster to embed a JavaScript tracking code into the website's source.

After including that little snippet, Piwik will start tracking visitor details in real time, providing up-to-the-minute updated information.

A demo for Piwik can be accessed here. If you want and can contribute to the Piwik core, development is handled via their GitHub page. Official Piwik iOS and Android apps are available in the App Store and Google Play.
