BT Visitor Insights is a privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics plugin. Everything stays on your server — no Google Analytics, no third-party tracking scripts, no data sent to any external analytics platform.
Activate it and your dashboard starts filling with real visitor data: where they’re from, what pages they viewed, what device they’re on, and how long they’ve been around.
<h4>Why use it?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No third-party tracking. All visitor data stays in your WordPress database.</li>
<li>Zero configuration. Activate the plugin and data starts collecting immediately.</li>
<li>Lightweight. No bulky frontend tracking script — tracking happens server-side, so it works alongside any caching plugin.</li>
<li>Real-time. See who’s on your site right now (last 15 minutes).</li>
<li>Respectful. Honors the Do Not Track browser header and skips logged-in administrators.</li>
</ul>

<li>Date-range filters — today, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, all time</li>
<li>Auto-cleanup — old data is purged based on your configurable retention period (default 90 days)</li>
<li>IP exclusion list and IP anonymization (in Settings)</li>

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin uses the ip-api.com geolocation API to look up the city, region, and country for each new visitor IP address. This request is made server-side from your WordPress installation when a visitor is first seen.
<ul>
<li>Service: ip-api.com</li>
<li>What is sent: the visitor’s IP address</li>
<li>When: once per unique visitor IP, server-side</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
</ul>
No data is sent to Boulley Technology or any other third party.
