Epic Tracking lets you add event tracking to any element on your WordPress site using a visual editor. Click the element you want to track, give it a name, and you’re done — events start recording immediately. No code, no Google Tag Manager, no external scripts.
<h4>Visual Click & Event Editor</h4>
Open the visual editor on any page from the WordPress admin bar. Click a button, link, form, CTA, or any other element — give it a reference name and tag — and save. That’s it. The event is live and tracking starts immediately.
<ul>
<li>Track button clicks, form submissions, link clicks, and CTA conversions</li>
<li>Set up events in seconds with a point-and-click interface</li>
<li>Organize events with custom tags for easy filtering</li>
<li>No coding or tag manager knowledge required</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built-in Analytics Dashboard</h4>
The plugin includes a full analytics dashboard in your WordPress admin:
<ul>
<li>Event trigger counts with unique visitor breakdowns</li>
<li>Page view statistics with date range filtering</li>
<li>Per-page detail views with referrer, device, browser, OS, and country data</li>
<li>Daily traffic charts and trend visualization</li>
<li>Sortable tables with pagination</li>
</ul>
<h4>Self-Hosted & Privacy-Friendly</h4>
All tracking data stays in your WordPress database. No data is sent to third-party analytics services. Visitors are identified using a single first-party cookie — no personal data is stored or shared.

<li>Visual event editor — Point-and-click setup for tracking clicks on any element</li>

<li>Lightweight — No impact on page load speed; tracking runs asynchronously after render</li>
<li>Self-hosted — All data stored in your WordPress database, no external dependencies</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — All tables and options are removed when you delete the plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>Use Cases</h4>

<li>See which referrers drive the most traffic to specific pages</li>
<li>Understand visitor demographics: device type, browser, OS, and country</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why Epic Tracking?</h4>
Most WordPress event tracking requires Google Tag Manager, custom JavaScript, or expensive third-party services. Epic Tracking gives you a visual editor to set up event tracking in seconds — no code, no external scripts, no data leaving your server.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the <a href="http://ip-api.com" rel="nofollow ugc">ip-api.com</a> geolocation service to determine visitor country based on their IP address. An HTTP request is sent to ip-api.com each time a new visitor is recorded (unless a cached result is available). The request contains only the visitor’s IP address. No other personal data is sent.
<ul>
<li>Service: <a href="http://ip-api.com" rel="nofollow ugc">ip-api.com</a></li>
<li>Data sent: visitor IP address</li>
<li>When: on each new visit (results are cached for 24 hours)</li>
<li>Terms of service: <a href="https://ip-api.com/docs/legal" rel="nofollow ugc">ip-api.com/docs/legal</a></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <a href="https://ip-api.com/docs/legal" rel="nofollow ugc">ip-api.com/docs/legal</a></li>
</ul>

Are you using UTM Source to track link clicks within your website?
That’s a really bad idea! Not only will it create a new session with the links utm_source and inflate your visitor stats, it will also increase the bounce rate on the page you’re tracking.
So what’s the solution?
Use [event tracking] (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/events) on Google Analytics which capture events like a link click into your Google Analytics Dashboard.
For e.g. 
 <a href="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/free-ebook.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc">Download Free Ebook</a>
But then the WordPress Visual Editor will keep cleaning out the onClick part, so we made a quick shortcode that would save you from the trouble of redoing the onClick part everytime it got cleaned out.
How does it work?
In place of an A href tag like <code><a onClick="ga('send', 'event', 'Downloads', 'Click', 'Ebook downloaded', '0');" href="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/free-ebook.pdf">Download Free Ebook</a></code> use our shortcode <code>[tac_ga url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/free-ebook.pdf" category="Downloads" action="Click" label="Ebook Downloaded"]Download Free Ebook[/tac_ga]</code>
By default this shortcode uses the following information: 
Category: link 
Action: click 
Label: The URL Entered
How do I check if this works
Google Analytics’ Real time tab will show you that these tags would or not.
Some cases in which this shortcode won’t work: 
* You use Google Tag Manager to insert Google Analytics 
* You use Monster Insights Plugin (Formerly Yoast’s Google Analytics Plugin) to install Google Analytics
