For a further bit of nostalgia, the page itself is archived from another site by using the program Teleport Pro, which is also from about the same time. This can be discovered by trying to follow the bottom link to Webalizer's site.<p>(Coincidentally, looking for a modern alternative to Teleport, particularly on Mac, is a surprisingly fruitless endeavour—at least if one has grown to limit themselves to open-source software. Meanwhile I expect at least two of the sites I sometimes use to go belly-up soonish.)<p>As for Webalizer itself: one of my first jobs was to make a log analyzer in Perl, and since I knew almost nothing about performant file access, string splitting and data crunching, the resulting code ran fairly slowly. So iirc I soon found Webalizer as the replacement, since it was written in C and by more competent people. Or perhaps I chose AWStats, can't remember.<p>(Come to think of it, the Perl thing might run okayish by now, since it was a stock Perl loop over the lines with a regular expression—bad but not fatal. Now I'll have to find the cd with the encrypted archives and figure out what was wrong with the code, dammit.)

Webalizer is still shipped by default with cPanel, which although maybe not popular here is still by far the most commonly used hosting control panel. There are surprisingly few tools for quick log file analysis, goaccess already mentioned being a notable exception.
This tool did me a good service for years without needing any JavaScript. I finally decided to get rid of all access logging on my personal websites when GDPR came around, so now it's also gone.
