SFR Analytics Hub brings analytics data from all your WordPress sites together in a single, easy-to-read dashboard. It works with the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sfr-analytics/" rel="ugc">SFR Analytics</a> plugin, which tracks pageviews, visitors, sessions, traffic sources, geographic data, and more on each individual site.
The Hub pulls that data into its own local database and presents aggregated views, trend comparisons, and breakdowns — so you can monitor every site from one place without logging in to each one separately.
Free for up to 3 sites. It works directly with the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sfr-analytics/" rel="ugc">SFR Analytics</a> plugin on each tracked site.
You can also check live online visitors across all connected sites from the Hub dashboard, including per-site online counts and a quick “Active Sites Now” summary.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Central dashboard — total views, visitors, sessions, and human traffic percentage across all connected sites</li>
<li>Local data storage — analytics snapshots are stored in the Hub’s own database for fast dashboard loading</li>
<li>Automatic hourly sync — new data is fetched from all sites in the background via WP-Cron</li>
<li>Historical backfill — when you add a new site, the Hub pulls up to 90 days of past data automatically</li>
<li>Traffic over time chart — line chart showing daily views across your sites for the selected date range</li>
<li>Traffic sources — see where visitors are coming from: Direct, Search Engines, Social Media, Referral Sites</li>
<li>Top referring sites — individual domains sending traffic, aggregated across all sites</li>
<li>Top content — most viewed pages across all your sites</li>
<li>Online Now (cross-site) — check current live visitors across all connected sites with per-site counts</li>
<li>Active Sites Now panel — quick summary of which connected sites currently have live visitors</li>
<li>Online-only auto-refresh — optional 15s/30s/60s refresh for live checks (off by default)</li>
<li>Site categories — label sites as Personal (P) or Client (C), with quick toggle filters</li>
<li>Email report groups — create multiple report groups, each with its own site selection, recipients, and weekly or monthly schedule. Digests include Today, 7-day, and 30-day summaries with trend comparisons</li>
<li>Export and print — download CSV reports or print/save as PDF</li>
<li>Date presets — Today, Last 24 Hours, 7 Days, 30 Days, 90 Days, or custom date range</li>
<li>Per-site toggle — show or hide individual sites on the dashboard without removing them</li>
<li>Refresh on demand — sync button fetches latest data then reloads the dashboard</li>
<li>Encrypted credentials — API passwords are encrypted using Sodium (with fallback)</li>
<li>Data retention — configurable retention period (default 1 year, up to 5 years)</li>
<li>Simple limits — this free edition supports up to 3 connected sites</li>
</ul>
