Screen resolution of visitors

[wjh2303]

I notice that awstats doesnt provide any information about the screen resolution of site visitors. I would quite like to know this to help with the design of my site, so i was wondering is there a way to enable this in awstats. If not is there a way to get the information using a different traffic monitor, or maybe there is some way i can pull screen/browser resolution from visitors with php/js so i can see it?

thanks

In Javascript, screen.width returns the width in pixels of the screen.

Just to help you without having to go down this route, here is some data, spread over a year from Google Analytics that will give you some idea...

1024x768: 33.05%
1280x1024: 20.06%
1280x800: 17.43%
1440x900: 9.19%
1680x1050: 4.92%
800x600: 2.59%
1920x1200: 2.33%
1152x864: 1.98%
1280x768: 1.38%
1280x960: 1.25%

Obviously, this could be different for various sites, but it will give you a very clear idea that the vast majority of user have 1024x768 or larger. The only pain is 800x600, but the % is so small that it could be ignored.

Alternatively, if you want to do this yourself, look up Google Analytics or Statcounter, both of which track screen resolution.

Remember, Google is your friend. First result has what you're looking for.

I would caution against targeting particular resolutions, assuming that's what you want the data for. Better to use an elastic layout that will degrade gracefully.
