<h4>WP Website Analytics: PREMIUM ANALYTICS FOR FREE</h4>
<p>JG Website Analytics is a free WordPress Plugin offering a product to monitor website visitors which you would normally have to pay for.<br />
With this plugin, you can understand how many visitors you have to your website, which pages are the most frequently used, which website sent them to you and how many people are on your site NOW!<br />
Due to adblockers and privacy browsers, a considerable amount of traffic is not reported when using third-party website traffic apps, not the case with “JG Website Analytics” you have 100% of the statistics.</p>
<p>Initially, my aim is to create a plugin that will provide a better experience and better results than Google Analytics, the market leader. I think I am getting there but I have a lot of enhancements still to come.<br />
Don’t spend hours trying to use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) when you can get more useful information much quicker with JG Website Analytics!<br />
You don’t need to pay for a third-party analytics service when you can get all the information for free!</p>
<p>I have a short and long version of the plugin Roadmap which I am very excited about which you can read it on our roadmap page: https://jumpinggiraffe.com/website-analytics-wordpress-plugin-roadmap/</p>
<p>Reporting on how your visitors use your website is only the first version of the plugin, it will do so much more in the future which will also help increase user experience for your visitors but also increase the volume of traffic to your website.</p>
<h4>What this plugin will do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Record 100% of the visitors to your website</li>
<li>Remove any “personal” data including IP addresses – we don’t store who your visitors are only where they visit – GDPR</li>
<li>Easy to use overview Graph and as much detail as you would like from our flexible tables.</li>
<li>Real-time visitors, how many people are using your site right now, which pages they are on and where they came from.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Analytics: understand more about your customers.</li>
<li>The Dashboard looks great on any device!</li>
<li>All your analytics in your WordPress dashboard, no need to go to a third party site and log in to get your data!</li>
</ul>
<p>There is no need for complicated configuration or settings to get going, as soon as the plugin is “Activated” it will start recording your visitors and you can start using JG Website Analytics.</p>
<h4>Real Time Visitors</h4>
<p>Find out exactly how many visitors you have on your website with our LIVE Real Time Visitors.<br />
Did you know that Google Analytics can’t show who is on your website right now! It can only show how many visitors have come to your website in the last 30 minutes. Not very helpful.<br />
With JG Website Analytics you can see how many people are on your site now and what pages they are looking at.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce Analytics</h4>
<p>JG Website Analytics will not only produce in-depth visitor analytics for your WordPress blog but also for every page of your WooCommerce e-commerce shop. A powerful tool to identify your best selling products.</p>
<h4>Privacy Protected</h4>
<p>We value everyone’s privacy as, well, private and that is how it should be. JG Website Analytics will not store any personal data.</p>
<h4>Reports on 100% of your website visitors:</h4>
<p>If you are a user of Google Analytics did you know that due to Adblockers and their software restrictions, they only reported on around 48% of live visitors. Which is just not very good, is it?<br />
Even the best third-party analytics options available can only provide a percentage of visitors to your site.<br />
Website Analytics from Jumping Giraffe reports on 100% of your traffic as Ad blockers do not block our JavaScript snippet.</p>

Codersly

<p><strong>Codersly Visitor Tracker</strong> is a privacy-aware <strong>WordPress Visitor Tracking Plugin</strong> that helps site owners understand how visitors, pages, referrers, devices, and bots interact with their website from inside the WordPress admin area.</p>
<p>The plugin records visitor activity in a dedicated custom database table and displays useful visitor analytics through a dashboard and searchable visitor list. You can review page views, landing pages, current pages, referrers, browser information, visit times, and visitor type without sending visitor analytics data to Codersly.</p>
<p>Codersly Visitor Tracker is built for WordPress site owners, bloggers, developers, agencies, and small businesses who need lightweight visitor tracking, local visitor logs, bot detection, referrer tracking, and basic traffic insights directly in WordPress.</p>
<p>The plugin is free and fully functional. All included features are available immediately after activation. Optional add-on information screens may be shown only to describe features available in a separate Pro add-on; those screens do not contain disabled controls, license checks, or Pro feature code.</p>

<p><strong>What can you track?</strong></p>
<p>Codersly Visitor Tracker can record key visitor analytics data such as page path, landing page, current page, referrer, referrer host, browser name, user agent, IP address, visit time, and bot-detection fields. If approximate location lookup is enabled by the site administrator, the plugin may also store approximate location fields returned by the configured GeoIP provider.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy-focused local analytics</strong></p>
<p>This WordPress visitor tracking plugin stores visitor data locally in your WordPress database. It does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly. Approximate location lookup is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables it.</p>
<h3>Optional add-on information</h3>
<p>A separate Codersly Visitor Tracker Pro add-on may be available from Codersly outside WordPress.org. That separate add-on is not included in this WordPress.org plugin package.</p>
<p>The free plugin may show informational add-on screens, similar to feature comparison pages, so site administrators can see which additional screens are provided by the separate add-on. These screens are informational only: they do not include disabled controls, hidden feature code, license gates, report engines, export actions, campaign tracking engines, live monitoring engines, or cleanup actions.</p>
<p>The separate add-on may provide additional admin screens and workflows such as advanced analytics, live visitor monitoring, campaign reports, export tools, and data cleanup tools. These add-on features are provided by a separate plugin package outside WordPress.org and are not part of this submitted free plugin.</p>
<p>Learn more about the separate add-on at: https://codersly.com/product/codersly-visitors-tracker-pro-wordpress-plugin-license/</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin stores visitor data locally in the WordPress database. It may store visitor IP address, user agent, page path, referrer, browser name, approximate location fields, visit time, and bot-detection fields.</p>
<p>The plugin does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly.</p>
<p>Approximate location lookup is disabled by default. If the site administrator enables approximate location lookup, the visitor IP address may be sent in the background to an external GeoIP provider selected by the plugin/provider filter. The result is cached locally to reduce repeated requests.</p>
<p>Site owners are responsible for updating their privacy policy and obtaining any consent required by their local laws before enabling tracking or external location lookup.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can optionally connect to external GeoIP services to look up approximate visitor city/country from an IP address. This feature is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables approximate location lookup.</p>
<p>When enabled, the visitor IP address is sent to the selected GeoIP provider during a background lookup after a visit is recorded. The service returns approximate location data such as country, city, latitude and longitude when available.</p>
<p>Supported GeoIP providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>ipwho.is – used for approximate IP location lookup. Terms: https://ipwhois.io/terms, Privacy Policy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy</li>
<li>ip-api.com – optional approximate IP location lookup provider. Terms: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal, Privacy Policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
