<p>Quantely Activity is a lightweight, first-party plugin for WordPress that records pageviews and events.</p>
<p>Quantely Activity is built to capture activity reliably under imperfect conditions through server-side recording and optional client-side signals, while supporting filtering for bots, unwanted pages, IP sources and selectable WordPress logged-in roles.</p>
<p>Quantely Activity can be used for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Monitoring site behavior</li>
<li>Reviewing traffic patterns</li>
<li>Security and bot analysis</li>
<li>Feeding downstream analytics layers</li>
</ul>
<p>Quantely Activity is turn-key: install it, and pageviews and events should begin appearing shortly after. Raw activity data is retained for a configurable short period, helping keep the plugin lightweight and privacy-conscious.</p>
<h3>What Quantely Activity is</h3>
<p>Quantely Activity is a capture and monitoring layer. It is designed to record activity on your site in a structured and reliable way, with a strong focus on signal capture and data integrity.</p>
<p>Unlike many analytics tools, it does not focus on marketing analytics, attribution modelling, or behavioral profiling. It also does not rely solely on browser JavaScript. A server-side baseline helps ensure pageviews are still captured when scripts or beacons fail.</p>
<h3>Hybrid capture engine</h3>
<p>The plugin combines server-side pageview capture with optional browser-side signals.</p>
<p>Typical flow:</p>
<p>Browser request<br />
<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span><br />
Server pageview baseline<br />
<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span><br />
Browser attach (Beacon)<br />
– engagement pings<br />
– interaction events<br />
<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span><br />
Correlation via pageview identifiers<br />
<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span><br />
Bot classification and exclusions<br />
<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span><br />
Deduplication and storage</p>
<p>This architecture helps keep capture reliable under real-world conditions where browser-only tracking can miss signals.</p>
<h3>Event correlation and deduplication</h3>
<p>Quantely Activity links browser-side signals back to the pageview where they occurred.</p>
<p>Engagement pings, clicks, form submissions, and similar events can be correlated to their originating pageview. Built-in deduplication helps avoid duplicate records when similar signals are captured from both browser and server-side sources.</p>
<p>This keeps the activity stream more accurate and easier to interpret.</p>
<h3>Fully on-site</h3>
<p>All captured activity is stored in your own WordPress database.</p>
<p>Quantely Activity does not send captured activity data to external services. IP addresses are never stored in plain form, and the plugin does not perform cross-site tracking.</p>
<h3>Privacy-aware design</h3>
<p>The plugin is designed with privacy-conscious principles in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>No plain IP addresses stored</li>
<li>Short configurable retention window</li>
<li>Optional honoring of GPC / DNT signals</li>
<li>No external tracking services</li>
<li>Data remains on your own site</li>
</ul>
<p>This gives site owners visibility into activity while keeping capture local and controlled.</p>
<h3>Hooks</h3>
<p>Quantely Activity exposes a small developer API for integrations and downstream processing.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>qmon_hit_before_insert</code> — Filter a normalized hit array before it is stored.</li>
<li><code>qmon_hit_recorded</code> — Action fired after a hit has been stored. This is the main integration point for forwarding or persisting captured records.</li>
<li><code>qmon_event_normalize</code> — Filter a normalized event payload before it is finalized.</li>
<li><code>qmon_event_db_dedupe_window_sec</code> — Filter the database deduplication window for events.</li>
<li><code>qmon_bot_verdict</code> — Filter the bot-classification verdict before it is finalized.</li>
</ul>
