Statistics - Webcounter

[Queenswood]

I have seen this covered but no one saying much about counters.

I have put a statistics\counter on the website works fine on front page Index.shtml & main.shtml & left_navigation.shtml

I have a javascript that i place in my root directory This is then referenced from each page.

<!-- PowerPhlogger Code START -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="pphlogger.js"></script>
<noscript><img alt="" src="http://www.kungfu.dyndns.org/pphlogger/pphlogger.php?id=queenswood&st=img"></noscript>
<!-- PowerPhlogger Code END -->

This updates a mysql database on my home server to keep stats.

Problem when I put the counter on every page using Act_CatalogBody.html the pages take about 10 seconds to load.
If i place this the code at the top of the templates i get an error. I on every single page but the counter works.

Anyone have any ideas.
Is this the correct template to be using for every page.?

Many thanks

Dave

1. Your src definition doesn't specify the path so when it's in the /acatalog directory (where all your products are) then it can't find the javascript in the root directory.

2. A better template is the Act_Primary templates that are used as the top level temaplte for all your pages except the brochure ones.

I tried Act_Primary.html this made the webpages load extreamly slow.

I put the code in Act_CatalogBody.html as far to the bottom as I can now the pages load fine & i dont get an error. I have been testing proformance for loading the pages depending on were the code for the counter is makes alot of difference.

Many thanks for your help when I added the code to Act_Primary.html anywere in the template the webpages loaded slow.

Thanks again
