It's feasible if you empty the access table once a week, using a cronjob for example. It depends what type of statistic you're looking to track - amount of hits? user browsers?

If you're just looking for a simple hit counter it could be easier to have an attribute for each site called `hits` which you UPDATE every time someone visits the site.
