Showcase Weblog Analyser Java Desktop Application

In this video, we will showcase the Weblog Analyser Java desktop application. The application allows you to see how many visitors are coming to your website, what pages users are landing on, What websites are directing users to this site, Once users access this site, what other pages do they access, what operating system are visitors using, and what browser are visitors using? The application processes a standard log file from web application servers such as Apache Tomcat. This example here today is designed to work with my website. Let's take a look at what it can do. When we run the application, we can see that we have an option to load log files, Select the date range for the report, display the data analysis and publish the report. To load data into the application, we navigate to the location of the log file, select it and load. The user interface displays the number of unique visitors to the site; this excludes bots and visitors redirected from another site. The table shows visitor landing pages with the most popular at the top of the list. Most people directly visiting a website will access the home page. As a result, the homepage will be the most frequently accessed page. The Referral tab shows which external sites have referred users to the website. The report shows not only the referring site but also the target page. How a post on social media attracts an audience can be informative, and this information can help. The Internal Referal tab shows where a visitor has landed on a page and then moved to another page. The information can help you understand if visitors are visiting the site, consuming the information and then moving to another site, or choosing to visit other pages on the site. It's a good indication of whether you're making your site sticky, where once you get somebody to visit your website, you encourage them to stay and look at other things. The other two tabs show how many visitors use a particular browser or operating system. My website provides information on writing Java desktop code therefore I target visitors with desktop devices, i.e. not mobile phones. I also predominantly write code for Windows operating systems with a little for Linux. The report shows how many visitors use the operating systems I’m targeting. My website does not use any browser-specific code outside what WordPress provides. I’m less interested in the browser version apart from for academic purposes. That’s a whilst stop tour of Weblog Analyser built using Java with JavaFX as a desktop application. I hope you've enjoyed it.
