Stats was an excellent plugin that did the job perfectly without added load to your server. But since support for this plugin no longer exists and it being integrated into the official Jetpack by plugin, it became a nightmare to have just the Jetpack plugin without all the unnecessary modules which are activated by default once you install and activate it.

You can still download the Stats plugin but you leave your blog to vulnerability since it was last updated in 2011.

What Do I Do?

Good question, I asked similar questions and I was without a statics tool that can really make me sleep at night. I have heard great news about Google Analytics Plugin but I have been reluctant to add it to my list of installed plugins since I already have the javascript running on my blog and I could equally find my way out on the Analytics dashboard. But there are a lot of things I like with the original Stats that Google Analytics can’t just provide for me. Forgive me if I am wrong, or maybe it’s just me.
