BAAB Insights runs inside your WordPress admin. It builds an on-screen report (overview table, advisor tabs) and a JSON data block you can copy. For a more detailed report on the BAAB site, open https://baab.de/insights/ and paste your JSON there when you are ready (that step is optional and only happens if you copy data out of WordPress yourself).
What this version includes
<ul>
<li>Admin page under “BAAB Insights” (capability: <code>manage_options</code>)</li>
<li>One-click report generation (AJAX, same-site only) with database, object cache, media, and SSL advisors</li>
<li>Read-only JSON export with compact formatting for large lists</li>
<li>English source strings with German translations (<code>de_DE</code>)</li>
<li>Optional activation redirect to the plugin screen (single activation only)</li>
</ul>
Privacy and external connections
<ul>
<li>No phoning home: The plugin does not send analytics or telemetry to BAAB or any third party. No license pings, no usage tracking, no crash reporting.</li>
<li>Your data stays on your server unless you explicitly copy the JSON elsewhere.</li>
<li>Outbound HTTP(S) is limited to your own site’s URLs: optional HEAD requests to your configured home URL (HTTPS for HSTS detection, HTTP for redirect-to-HTTPS checks). This is not a call to the plugin author; it uses WordPress’s HTTP API to inspect your public responses.</li>
<li>For SSL details, the plugin may open a TLS connection to your site’s host to read the presented certificate (same host as your WordPress URL). By default, fields like certificate subject, SAN list, and full site URL are not included in the JSON export unless you opt in by defining <code>BAAB_DISABLE_SENSITIVE_OUTPUT</code> as <code>false</code> in code.</li>
</ul>
Optional commercial product
<ul>
<li>The admin screen may link to a PRO offering on the author’s site. The free plugin on WordPress.org remains fully functional for analysis; the PRO product is optional.</li>
<li>The web app for extended analysis based on your JSON export: https://baab.de/insights/</li>
</ul>

BAAB Insights

BAAB Insights analyzes your WordPress installation locally in the admin and helps you spot performance, database, cache, media, and SSL issues.

Quiet Proof for Your Website
Most websites are having conversations you never see.
Visitors ask questions, express confusion, or look for answers without ever filling out a form or opening a ticket. Traditional analytics don’t show this. Chat logs are too noisy to monitor at scale.
Kognetiks Chatbot turns those invisible interactions into quiet proof of value.
Instead of guessing whether your chatbot is helping, you receive clear, human-readable summaries that show what visitors asked, where AI helped, and where attention may be needed.
No dashboards to babysit. 
No transcripts to dig through. 
Just insight, delivered.
<h3>What Makes This Different</h3>
Kognetiks is not a novelty chatbot. It is build for understanding, oversight, and long-term use.
It is designed for visibility, oversight, and measurable outcomes, so you can understand how AI is actually being used on your site.
