Simple Analytics Dashboard

Koko Analytics is simple analytics. There are no complicated reports to dig through. A single dashboard page shows you all the important metrics.

\n\n

\nDoes Koko Analytics set any cookies?\n\n

By default it does, but you can disable the use of cookies in the settings.

If using cookies, Koko Analytics sets a single _koko_analytics_pages_viewed cookie (max 24h lifetime) to detect unique visitors without storing personal data.

More info: Does Koko Analytics use cookies?

\nWill using Koko Analytics slow down my site?\n\n

Koko Analytics is built to be very high performance.

It only adds a single script of less than 500 bytes to your pages.
Data is collected using an optimized tracking endpoint which bypasses WordPress entirely.

The performance impact for your visitors will be as close to zero as technically possible.

\nIs Koko Analytics privacy-friendly?\n\n

Yes.

No personal data is processed or stored.
Visitors are not tracked across pages or sites.
Only aggregated counts are stored, nothing that could identify a single visitor.
No third-party services are involved.

\nIs Koko Analytics open-source?\n\n

Yes. Koko Analytics is released under the GPL license.

\nIs Koko Analytics free?\n\n

Yes. Koko Analytics is a free plugin that you can install on your site without requiring any third-party services.

Some more advanced features are bundled in Koko Analytics Pro, which you can purchase for a small yearly fee.

\nHow does Koko Analytics compare to Google Analytics?\n\n

Unlike Google Analytics, Koko Analytics runs entirely on your own server and does not send any data to third parties. There is no complex setup, no JavaScript loaded from external domains, and no consent banner required. You get simple, accurate statistics for your WordPress site while fully respecting your visitors’ privacy.

\nCan I see statistics for individual pages?\n\n

Yes. Koko Analytics uses path-based tracking, so you can view analytics for any URL on your site – including category archives, search result pages, and custom post types. Click any page in the dashboard to filter the chart and totals to that specific page.

\nDoes Koko Analytics work with caching plugins?\n\n

Yes. Koko Analytics is fully compatible with all WordPress caching plugins and server-side caches. Data is collected through a dedicated endpoint that bypasses WordPress entirely, so your cache is never invalidated and your statistics remain accurate regardless of your caching setup.
