Traffic Monitor gives you full visibility into how people and bots are hitting your site.
Unlike bloated analytics and security plugins, Traffic Monitor focuses on logging raw request data that you control. You’ll know which pages are cached, which bots are visiting, where users are coming from, and how many requests are tied to each IP/browser combination.
Perfect for developers, marketers, and site owners who want fast insights—without handing over their traffic data.
<h3>What Makes It Different</h3>
<ul>
<li>✅ Logs requests for both cached and non-cached pages</li>
<li>✅ Lets you export raw traffic logs as raw CSV for your own analysis</li>
<li>✅ Identifies repeat ad clicks for spotting potential click fraud</li>
<li>✅ Reveals which bots are hitting your site, so you can block them elsewhere (example: Cloudflare)</li>
<li>✅ Tracks IP address, fingerprint, device type, cache status, response code, and more</li>
<li>✅ Displays referrer URLs and query strings</li>
<li>✅ Records the original source of requests by the same visitor as they surf your website</li>
<li>✅ Doesn’t auto-block or inject junk—just clean, useful data</li>
<li>✅ Works great with Cloudflare, caching plugins, and reverse proxies</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Logs every page request, including IP address, referrer, user-agent, browser, device, method, and more.</li>
<li>Detects cached traffic even if served by Cloudflare, your web host, or a plugin.</li>
<li>Identifies bot traffic by bot name and category.</li>
<li>View click IDs like gclid and fbclid from ad platforms like Google and Meta.</li>
<li>Records repeat ad clicks to detect potential click fraud.</li>
<li>Bulk delete or export logs with one click.</li>
<li>Search, sort, and drill into data from your dashboard.</li>
<li>Built-in help tabs with definitions, setup help, and troubleshooting.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Debug integrations instantly: Know exactly what URLs are being hit, by which devices, and with what parameters. No guesswork.</li>
<li>Spot caching gaps: See which pages are served from cache and which aren’t, even with Cloudflare or plugin-level caching.</li>
<li>Understand real-world traffic: Track entry pages, referrers, devices, and browsers—whether human or bot.</li>
<li>Catch click fraud signals: Identify repeat ad clicks tied to the same IP/user agent fingerprint or session, even if served from cache.</li>
<li>Audit referrers: View exactly which websites or campaigns are driving traffic (including query strings).</li>
<li>Filter out noise: Use bot labels and device types to focus only on human traffic when analyzing patterns.</li>
</ul>

0 Day Analytics helps detect, inspect and respond to PHP and WordPress-level 
errors before they become production incidents. It is optimized for very 
large logs and common debugging/operational workflows.
Core capabilities: 
– Efficiently reads very large (GB-sized) error logs without full-file reads. 
– Error Log Manager with search, filtering, and code-context viewing. 
– Cron Manager: list, edit, run, delete scheduled tasks; advanced filters. 
– Transients Manager: safely list, edit, delete DB transients. 
– Requests Viewer: inspect outgoing HTTP requests. 
– Mail Logger & Composer: record email history, view attachments, compose/send. 
– SMTP configuration and test email support. 
– DB Table Manager: inspect/delete records across tables. 
– Server Info: admin-bar badges and dashboard widget (CPU, memory, disk). 
– Plugin Version Switcher, Code Snippets module, code viewer, CSV export and dark mode. 
– Recovery Mode: one-time recovery links with Slack/Telegram/other channels. 
– Randomize error-log filename for security. 
– PHP Snippets: generate and execute your own snippets when you need them. Shortcodes are supported.
<h3>Short Description</h3>
Real-time error insight and recovery for WordPress — lightweight, fast 
troubleshooting toolkit with log management, cron/transient/request viewers, 
mail logging/composition, SMTP, and a recovery mode.
<h3>Requirements & Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0+ (tested up to 6.9)</li>
<li>PHP 7.4+ (compatible with PHP 8+)</li>
<li>Not intended as a multisite recovery tool (see notes below)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Best practices & Security Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Keep log files outside the webroot when possible, or restrict access via 
server rules (.htaccess / nginx) to avoid public exposure.</li>
<li>Use a randomized or non-obvious filename for error logs if stored in webroot.</li>
<li>Limit plugin capabilities to trusted administrators (capability checks).</li>
<li>Sanitize and escape all output; use nonces for state-changing actions.</li>
<li>Secure SMTP credentials and prefer TLS/STARTTLS.</li>
<li>Set file permissions tightly (e.g., 600/640) and restrict ownership to the 
web server user.</li>
<li>Backup database/files before bulk delete or run operations.</li>
<li>Disable or restrict high-frequency background polling in high-load sites.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage notes & performance</h3>
<ul>
<li>Default error history stores the last 999 errors (adjustable via Screen 
Options) to preserve performance on high-volume logs.</li>
<li>No pagination on error logs by design to avoid repeated full-file reads.</li>
<li>Optional DB-based PHP error logger exists for environments without disk 
logging; consider DB size and retention.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Support & Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Recommended: secure log paths and consider randomizing filenames.</li>
<li>Disable unused modules to reduce footprint and attack surface.</li>
<li>Recovery mode is limited on multisite installs due to WP core behavior.</li>
<li>For bugs, feature requests or support, open an issue on the plugin page.</li>
</ul>
