Plural for compound noun

Hello,

I want to refer about about the history of the websites, but I'm confused about what is the correct form of using the two-word noun. Sould I say "websites history" or the correct way should be "website history" I think this coud make no sense, but I have been looking in google for this words togheter an the words "websites history" doesn't show very often in google. Same case with "websites logger". Should I say "website logger" insted, even if I want to refer to a logger of several websites??

Thank you for your patience!.

I am uncertain about this, but I will try to answer. "History of websites" is "website history" (plural of history is history (AmE?), though my latest Oxford dictionary says it is histories. In that case, "website histories"?) and never ever "websites history".

A logger of websites, I think should just be "website logger" to mean a logger that can log (!) one or more websites.
