OWA is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database, which makes it compatible for running with an AMP solution stack on various web servers.3

OWA supports tracking with WordPress and MediaWiki, two popular website frameworks.4 This application helps webmasters keep track of and observe the influx of views on their websites.5
