GameAnalytics is a free analytics service created by and for game developers. They have designed event types and the resulting metrics that are specific to gaming concepts so that you know what to track and how to best track it. These include: User acquisition, Player engagement, Monetization, including drivers of first time purchases, Player progression through game content, In-game economies and virtual resources (e.g. gold, lives, XP), Error tracking.
Once your game is instrumented, dashboards, analysis and data mining tools make it easy to understand what your players and monetizers are doing in your game, and where you should focus your development efforts. GameAnalytics is completely free to use. There are no pricing models nor derivatives, and the features available now will remain free going forward!

Libscore scans the top million sites on the web to collect stats on JavaScript library usage. In the search box, enter the case-sensitive variable that a library exposes itself as, e.g. jQuery, Modernizr, $.ui, or $.fn.fancybox.
Libscore aggregates this data to provide open source developers the numbers they need to measure their impact. Specifically, Libscore scans for third-party modules loaded with RequireJS, jQuery plugins, window variables produced by non-jQuery libraries, and cross-domain external scripts (e.g. analytics services and CDNs). It scans every site twice: once to pick up results for the desktop version of the site, and again to pick up results for the site’s mobile redirect page.

The heatmap colours and the first ms value indicate at what point in the page load the image finished loading. It’s a good indicator of user experience… “It took 3450ms before the user saw this image.” The second value in brackets is the time it took the browser to load that specific image.

Minicron aims to complement cron by making it easier to manage and monitor cron jobs, it can largely be thought of as two components that interact together, the CLI and the Hub. The CLI is what is installed on your server(s) and executes your cron command and reports the status back to the Hub.
The Hub is the central point where data from one or many instances of the CLI is received and stored in a database. The Hub also provides a web interface to the data and makes it easy to manage your cron jobs.

Bucky is a client and server for sending performance data from the client into statsd + graphite, OpenTSDB, or any other stats aggregator of your choice.
It can automatically measure how long your pages take to load, how long AJAX requests take and how long various functions take to run. Most importantly, it’s taking the measurements on actual page loads, so the data has the potential to be much more valuable than in vitro measurements.
