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

<p>Boomerang provides a simple interface for your users or customers to provide feedback about your goods or services. While created with feature requests in mind, you can use Boomerang to collect any form of feedback from your customers, staff, potential leads and so on.</p>
<p>It all starts with a board. And with Boomerang, you can create as many as you want. Boards contain Boomerangs. These are the individual pieces of feedback your users provide. Whenever a user creates a ‘Boomerang’, it is assigned to a chosen board. So if you are a software company with multiple products, you are all set. If you run a chain of hotels, each hotel can have a board, and you can easily keep track of your feedback.</p>
<p>Here’s where Boomerang get’s really clever. Each board has its own set of options. Because we know that collecting feedback may not be done the same way across your whole product or service offer. So go ahead and customise each one accordingly.</p>
<h3>✨ Features</h3>
<h4>A Modern User Interface</h4>
<p>Boomerang features a slick user interface, closer to alternatives such as Canny or Frill. If you’ve used those (and cringed at the price they charge) you’ll feel right at home. Boomerang comes with it’s own global styles, so you can get started right away. However, if you are a web designer and happy using CSS, you can turn these off for a more native, non-opinionated experience.</p>
<p>For administrators, nearly everything can be achieved on the front-end. Delete a Boomerang. Change it’s status. And so on. You deserve a great experience too.</p>
<h4>Granular Control</h4>
<p>The most basic Boomerang has a title, and some content. That’s it. Everything else a Boomerang might need, can be switched on individually. When you create a board, these are all turned off by default. The easiest way to learn what the features do is to turn them on, one at a time. Experiment with how feature rich you want your Boomerangs to be. And if you need a bit more guidance, each feature has a description to tell you more.</p>
<h4>The Boomerang Block</h4>
<p>The Boomerang archive comes with everything you need to create and list Boomerangs. A modern, AJAX-enabled form. AJAX-enabled filters to narrow down the Boomerang list. But how do you display it? Add your Boomerang listing to any page, using the Boomerang shortcode (you’ll see this at the top of each board’s settings page). Even easier, you could use the Boomerang Block to pick a board you’ve already created, and add that directly into your block editor.</p>
<h4>Statuses</h4>
<p>Some plugins don’t let you edit your statuses. Boomerang gives you full control over them. You create them, you edit them, you assign them to Boomerangs. And you do all that in the Boomerang Status Center. You’ll find it in the Boomerang menu.</p>
<h4>Amazing Help and Support</h4>
<p>Feel free to ask questions in the plugin support forum. You can see the link at the top of this page. Alternatively, you will find a ‘Contact Us’ item on the Boomerang menu.Please don’t hesitate to reach out! We really want to meet you, and find out more about how you are using Boomerang.
