SteClick Counter is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you track link clicks by doing just one thing: 
adding a simple prefix to your existing URLs.
No complex setup. No JavaScript. No external analytics services.
To start tracking clicks, simply add the prefix <code>/?tag=XXX&to=</code> before the URL you want to track. 
The plugin logs the click and immediately redirects the visitor to the destination.
This makes SteClick Counter ideal for tracking: 
– Download buttons 
– PDF links 
– Embedded content 
– External links and call-to-action buttons
Key Benefits: 
* Simple Prefix System: No configuration required. Just add <code>/?tag=XXX&to=</code> to any link and start tracking instantly. 
* Lightweight & Fast: No JavaScript and no performance impact on your site. 
* Database Lean: Uses the file system for logging instead of creating database tables. 
* Privacy-First: No cookies, no tracking scripts, and no third-party services.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
To track a link, prepend the <code>/?tag=XXX&to=</code> prefix to the original URL.
Original URL: 
https://example.com/document.pdf
Tracked URL: 
/?tag=doc-01&to=https://example.com/document.pdf
<h3>Tracking a download link (HTML example)</h3>
You can also track download buttons or links by modifying the <code>href</code> attribute.
Original HTML: 
<a href=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip”>Download ZIP file</a>
Tracked HTML: 
<a href=”/?tag=zip01&to=https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip”>Download ZIP file</a>
When a visitor clicks a tracked link, SteClick Counter records: 
– The timestamp 
– Your custom tag 
– The destination URL 
– The referrer (source page)
You can view all click statistics in Settings → SteClick Counter.
