Description

The monthly reports under [1] show only the top 400 (out of 366K) URLs under eclipse.org. Would it be possible to offer some way of retrieving information about additional URLs too? (e.g. a search UI, a REST API or even just dumps that one can download and query locally).

I am aware that projects can use Google Analytics (GA) to monitor the traffic in their websites, however, due to the widespread use of ad-blockers, I suspect that GA heavily under-reports numbers of visits and page-loads.

Website traffic can be important for some Eclipse projects (such as the Epsilon project I'm leading) to demonstrate good health and impact (e.g. to management or to external funders) and having access to more accurate (and independently verifiable) stats could help a lot in this direction.
