WP Smart Analytics

ማብራሪያ

WP Smart Analytics provides insights into visitor analytics and provides security to your wordpress installation from the comfort of your WordPress dashboard. This mobile friendly plugin uses only encrypted text files for logs and database for statistics. It has option to anonymize IP’s and data is stored locally.

Tag cloud provides you an overview of the tagged visitors in descending order of visit frequency along with their visit details which can be used for lead analytics, and security maintenance. It further distinguishes website visitors as administrator or visitor or bot.

User interface is provided to retrieve statistics for a given period on Page Type, Page Title, Visitor Country, Visitor Platform, Visitor Browser and Visitor Source.

The plugin offers readonly and manage roles based on user role. A shortcode [wpsa_log] is also provided to display visitor logs which we strongly suggest to hide from public.

Please use the plugin if and only if it meets required statutory and regulatory compliances applicable in relevant jurisdiction(s). Contributor(s) takes no responsibility or liability due to its usage – either direct or indirect so please use your discretion.

Many new features are in pipeline.

የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

Q. Why is the plugin asking for ipstack.com API key?
A. IP stack has got a free API service used to obtain locality of an IP address. The plugin uses this. We are not affiliated with the service provider.

A. File paths containing any one of the comma separated texts corresponding to ‘Do not log’ in settings panel are not logged when visited.

A. You can update the ban texts by altering meta tags from settings panel and saving. Please be careful.

Q. Can I use [wpsa_log] shortcode anywhere?
A. A shortcode [wpsa_log] is also provided to display visitor logs. We strongly suggest to keep it hidden from public.
