<h4>🎯 What Is Measured?</h4>
PausAR Metrics records three types of interactions:
<ul>
<li>3D Viewer Interaction – a visitor interacts with the 3D model (once per widget per page visit)</li>
<li>QR Code Generated – the AR button is clicked on a device without AR support (desktop) and the QR code popup is shown</li>
<li>AR Session Started – the AR button is clicked or AR autostart is launched on a device with AR support, with Apple / Android platform detection</li>
</ul>
No personal data is collected. There are no cookies, no IP addresses, no device fingerprinting, and no connections to external servers. Only aggregated counters (event type, page URL, widget ID, date, and hour) are stored in your own WordPress database.

<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Possible problems when using cache optimisers, minifiers and CDNs (e.g. WP-Optimize, WP-Rocket, FlyingCDN, LiteSpeed Cache):
<ul>
<li>Some plugins modify JavaScript files and bundle them to improve page load times. However, this can invalidate file paths from our plugin. If problems occur, it is recommended to exclude our PausAR plugin from the modification if possible.
The following file paths should be excluded: <code>/wp-content/plugins/pausar-3d-ar-for-elementor</code> <code>/wp-content/plugins/pausar-3d-ar-for-elementor-premium</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Problems when using the plugin WP-Optimize and the following features:
<ul>
<li>JavaScript minification: JavaScript code will be compressed to shorten loading times. This makes PausAR’s code unusable. If you want to use WP-Optimize with PausAR, you must add the file path of the PausAR plugin listed above as an exception in the WP-Optimize settings.</li>
<li>JavaScript processing (since v.3.7): This feature causes ES6 modules to no longer load correctly, which makes many modern plugins unusable, including PausAR. It is recommended to disable this feature, otherwise the 3D preview and AR mode will not work</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
If the plugin LiteSpeed Cache is used with the activated “UCSS” function, visual problems may occur. The CSS classes of the plugin can then only be partially loaded.
</li>
<li>
3D models cannot be loaded in AR mode if the paths are not specified with the global path. This only affects models whose files were not inserted directly via the WordPress media library.
</li>
<li>
Conflicts may arise when using Google’s Model-Viewer on the same website page. If PausAR is used, further imports of the Model-Viewer should be avoided and are not needed even for custom coding.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Development</h4>
This plugin uses external libraries. The corresponding development files can be found here:

Depending on the structure of the content, some frameworks used in this plugin can load required scripts from the Internet. The following URLs can be loaded via cross-origin:
