Blog Metrics

Based on ideas in an excellent post by Avinash Kaushik this plugin calculates some statistics about your blog.

<p>Statify provides a straightforward and compact access to the number of site views. It is privacy-friendly as it uses neither cookies nor a third party.</p>
<p>An interactive chart is followed by lists of the most common reference sources and target pages. The period of statistics and length of lists can be set directly in the dashboard widget.</p>
<h3>Data Privacy</h3>
<p>In direct comparison to statistics services such as <em>Google Analytics</em>, <em>WordPress.com Stats</em> and <em>Matomo (Piwik)</em> <em>Statify</em> doesn’t process and store personal data as e.g. IP addresses – <em>Statify</em> counts site views, not visitors.</p>
<p>Absolute privacy compliance coupled with transparent procedures: A locally in WordPress created database table consists of only four fields (ID, date, source, target) and can be viewed at any time, cleaned up and cleared by the administrator.</p>
<p>Due to this tracking approach, Statify is 100% compliant with GDPR and serves as an lightweight alternative to other tracking services.</p>
<h3>Display of the widget</h3>
<p>The plugin configuration can be changed directly in the <em>Statify</em> Widget on the dashboard by clicking the <em>Configure</em> link.</p>
<p>The amount of links shown in the <em>Statify</em> Widget can be set as well as the option to only count views from today. Of course, older entries are not deleted when changing this setting.</p>
<p>The statistics for the dashboard widget are cached for four minutes.</p>
<h3>Period of data saving</h3>
<p><em>Statify</em> stores the data only for a limited period (default: two weeks), longer intervals can be selected as option in the widget. Data which is older than the selected period is deleted by a daily cron job.</p>
<p>An increase in the database volume can be expected because all statistic values are collected and managed in the local WordPress database (especially if you increase the period of data saving).</p>
<h3>JavaScript tracking for caching compatibility</h3>
<p>For compatibility with caching plugins like <a href="http://cachify.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Cachify</a> <em>Statify</em> offers an optional switchable tracking via JavaScript. This function allows reliable count of cached blog pages.</p>
<p>For this to work correctly, the active theme has to call <code>wp_footer()</code>, typically in a file named <code>footer.php</code>.</p>
<h3>Skip tracking for spam referrers</h3>
<p>The comment blacklist can be enabled to skip tracking for views with a referrer URL listed in comment blacklist, i. e. which considered as spam.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>If you’ve problems or think you’ve found a bug (e.g. you’re experiencing unexpected behavior), please post at the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/statify" rel="ugc">support forums</a>.</p>

Statify


Simple an clean statistic plugin. Just works.


Just simple stats.


A simple stats package that runs on your own site, so you aren't sending visitor data to some third party service just to count page views. Not as full-featured as Jetpack Stats, but much more privacy-friendly! Good for the basic use case of "where are most of my visitors coming from and what are the reading the most?" Works with ClassicPress too!


Simple, privacy-friendly stats

Visitor statistics for WordPress with focus on data protection, transparency and clarity. Perfect as a widget in your WordPress Dashboard.
