Super Secret makes your blog private. This means, to whoever is registered on the system. The biggest difference between Super Secret and other membership plugins is that the membership plugin redirects you to the WordPres login page, Super Secret does not. Super Secret will return a proper 404 HTTP Header, telling browsers that the website is not found. It will also display a “Not Found” generic dummy page.
This doesn’t mean your website is 100% hidden from everyone who attends it. Users can still see <code>wp-login.php</code>
When you publish a post, WordPress notifies other blogs linked to from your post. This could give away the presense of your blog! Make sure you disable all of these!
Inside “Settings > Discussion Settings > Default article settings”:
<ul>
<li>Disable “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article.”</li>
<li>Disable “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”“</li>
</ul>
Inside “Settings > Privacy Settings”:
<ul>
<li>Select “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors”.</li>
</ul>
Other give aways that your blog exist is trying to access ‘wp-admin’ (without the blackslash at the end). If configured correctly, Apache will redirect you to ‘wp-admin/’. This is a clear sign that a blog exists at your domain.
This is not a full proof plugin. There is no such thing as truly secure. You can only deter people.
<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
<ol>
<li>Other plugins that blocked people from viewing the site redirected them to the login page.</li>
<li>I wanted to return a proper 404 error, and generic dummy page. This is to prevent anyone or computer form guessing the website exists.</li>
</ol>

Koko Analytics – Privacy+Friendly statistics for WordPress


Nice simple and privacy friendly plugin


After initial problems works fine


Koko Analytics is a privacy-friendly analytics plugin that does exactly what it says on the tin. It's simple, effective, and respects the privacy of your visitors.


Excellent Plugin

Perfect

came here from slimstat after that seemed to have silently died (it seems back now), but haven't looked back since. love the events in kokopro too! ;-)

great job


I don't like the idea of very complex and granular analytics. I typically don't need or have time to review analytical tools like that. I just want to see the number of visitors, popular pages, and maybe a couple of other things. This plugin covers it. Most importantly, it looks clean. At least currently, there are no ads or other gaudy things in the dashboard.


I'm a fan


A great great Analytics tool for WordPress. It's fast, customizable, self-hosted and privacy friendly but what even stands out are the customer support and easy to use events in premium version. Really well thought out.


Perfect!


It is a simple plugin but is effective. Really love the Jetpack Statistics import function. Made it easy to switch. Look forward to seeing what new features will come.


Simple but effective


Koko Analytics is a lightweight and efficient plugin, standing out as one of the few that offers REST API support. This unique feature inspired us to integrate it with our app.



Additionally, the plugin's support team is responsive, helpful, and quick to address any issues, making it an excellent choice for website owners.

Easy to set up and gives you the statistics most customers needs. No need for bulky and slow analytics that no one uses!
