goood

This plugin is awesome. Hope it will be great for future too

Awesome plugin


I love this simple but easy to use plugin! 


Simple but good

great plugin


I've been using it for a few years as a parallel stats tracker for a pretty traffic-heavy site and it's been serving me well.



It's great for small and simple websites too :)

<p>Quantely Activity is a lightweight, privacy-conscious plugin that records visitor activity (pageviews and interactions).</p>
<p>It helps site owners understand what is happening on their website for monitoring, diagnostics, performance checks, and analytics validation. It also makes this data available to downstream analytics tools.</p>
<p>Quantely Activity runs fully on-site, uses no external services, stores data only briefly, supports cookie-free operation, does not depend on JavaScript, and does not store plain IP addresses.</p>
<h3>Key features</h3>
<h4>Robust traffic monitoring</h4>
<p>Quantely Activity captures activity reliably under imperfect conditions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Server-side pageview capture (always-on baseline)</li>
<li>Optional browser signals (clicks, forms, engagement)</li>
<li>Server-side event capture from plugins, including WooCommerce</li>
<li>Server and browser alignment via <code>pv_id</code></li>
<li>Receive-order recording with preserved origin metadata</li>
<li>Lightweight deduplication of duplicate signals</li>
</ul>
<h4>Traffic context</h4>
<p>Each hit is enriched with context for interpretation and downstream use.</p>
<ul>
<li>UTM parameters (<code>utm_source</code>, <code>utm_medium</code>, etc.)</li>
<li>Click IDs (e.g. <code>gclid</code>, <code>fbclid</code>)</li>
<li>Channel classification (email, paid, social, ai, search, referral, direct, internal)</li>
<li>Visitor continuity via cookies and derived identifiers</li>
</ul>
<h4>Engagement signals</h4>
<p>Engagement is captured efficiently using milestone-based signals.</p>
<ul>
<li>One maximum engagement value per pageview</li>
<li>Fibonacci-based milestones (<code>2–89 seconds</code>)</li>
<li>No continuous timers or heavy scripts</li>
</ul>
<h4>Internal traffic filtering</h4>
<p>Internal or irrelevant traffic can be excluded without losing visibility.</p>
<ul>
<li>Role-based exclusions (e.g. admins)</li>
<li>IP-based exclusions</li>
<li>Path-based exclusions</li>
<li>Hits remain visible but are marked (<code>is_excluded</code>)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Bot filtering</h4>
<p>Automated traffic is detected and classified at capture time.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>is_nonhuman</code>, <code>bot_label</code>, <code>bot_reason</code></li>
<li>Detection based on patterns, endpoints, and behavior</li>
<li>Reclassification possible as patterns emerge</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Designed to minimize data exposure and keep control local.</p>
<ul>
<li>No plain IP storage</li>
<li>Short retention window</li>
<li>GPC / DNT support</li>
<li>No external tracking services</li>
<li>Data stored fully on-site</li>
</ul>
<h3>Integrations</h3>
<p>Captured data is structured so other tools can use it.</p>
<ul>
<li>Activity data can feed downstream analytics tools</li>
<li>Events remain connected to their original page context</li>
<li>Compatible with analytics and processing workflows</li>
</ul>
<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>
