Google Analytics alternative for WordPress: clean stats, interactions, verified bots, UTM, GeoIP, CSV export. Privacy-first.
<h3>What you get</h3>
<ul>
<li>At-a-glance KPIs: pageviews, sessions, unique visitors, pages per session.</li>
<li>Interactions (sessions): session explorer with landing, referrer, per-session timeline (page history), avg. load, distinct pages, pageviews, expand/collapse.</li>
<li>Content insights: top URLs, titles, post IDs.</li>
<li>Acquisition: referrers (root domains) and UTM (source/medium/campaign).</li>
<li>Audience: countries, regions, cities, languages, common screen sizes.</li>
<li>Tech: device type, OS, browser.</li>
<li>Bots (with verification): separate verified search engine hits (Google, Bing, etc.).</li>
<li>Networks: major networks/ISPs and their CIDR ranges.</li>
<li>CSV export: exports exactly what your current filters show.</li>
<li>SPA-friendly & IPv6-ready.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why people choose it</h3>
<ul>
<li>Clear and calm: focused reports, no maze of menus.</li>
<li>Actionable filters: time window, path, title, country/city, referrer, device, OS, browser, language, UTM, bot type.</li>
<li>You stay in control: richer info (city, device brand/model, verified bot checks) is optional — enable only what you want.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Setup (optional extras)</h3>
Want richer details like city/region, device brand/model, or verified bot checks?
<ol>
<li>Sign in at https://yeb.to and create an API key (free test credits).</li>
<li>In WordPress, open Analytics (YEB) → Settings, paste your key.</li>
<li>Toggle the extras you want (Geo, Network/ASN, Device details, Bot verification).</li>
</ol>
Nothing is sent to YEB until you add a key and turn on a feature — you choose.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
<li>Go to Analytics (YEB) → Dashboard for your reports.</li>
<li>Use the tabs to dive into Overview, Interactions, Content, Acquisition, Audience, Tech, Bots, Networks.</li>
<li>Click Export CSV to download exactly what you’re viewing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode (public mini-stats)</h3>
Show small, public counters anywhere (pages, posts, widgets, site editor).
Basic: 
 `
[waby_visits_stats] ; whole site, last 7 days 
[waby_visits_stats period=”30d”] ; whole site, last 30 days 
[waby_visits_stats period=”1d” bots=”only”] ; bots only, yesterday 
[waby_visits_stats page=”/pricing”] ; just /pricing page, last 7 days
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
Auto-detect current page: 
 `
[waby_visits_stats current_page]
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
If <code>page=""</code> isn’t provided, <code>current_page</code> uses the current request path.
Show exactly what you want: 
 `
[waby_visits_stats show=”visits”] ; only total visits (pageviews) 
[waby_visits_stats show=”uniques”] ; only unique visitors 
[waby_visits_stats show=”both”] ; both (default)
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
Bot filter: 
– <code>bots="exclude"</code> (default) — show human traffic and unverified bot-like traffic treated as human 
– <code>bots="only"</code> — bot traffic only 
– <code>bots="include"</code> — include everything
Labels, layout & CSS hooks (for custom styling): 
 `
[waby_visits_stats 
current_page 
show=”both” 
label_visits=”Views” 
label_uniques=”Visitors” 
layout=”inline” ; inline | stack 
sep=” • ” 
wrap_tag=”div” ; div | span | p 
item_tag=”span” ; span | div 
wrapper_class=”stats stats–mini” 
item_class=”stats__item” 
label_class=”stats__label” 
value_class=”stats__value” 
]
<pre><code>``
</code></pre>
All attributes: 
– <code>period</code>: <code>1d</code>, <code>7d</code> (default), <code>30d</code> 
– <code>page</code>: limit to a path (e.g. <code>/pricing</code>) 
– <code>current_page</code>: presence-only flag to use the current URL path 
– <code>bots</code>: <code>exclude</code> (default), <code>only</code>, <code>include</code> 
– <code>show</code>: <code>visits</code>, <code>uniques</code>, <code>both</code> (default)

– <code>item_tag</code>: <code>span</code> (default), <code>div</code> 
– <code>wrapper_class</code>, <code>item_class</code>, <code>label_class</code>, <code>value_class</code>: extra CSS classes
<h3>Styling the shortcode</h3>
Paste this CSS into Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (or your theme stylesheet): 
 `css 
/* YEB Visits – public stats */ 
.yeb-visits-stats { 
 display: inline-flex; 
 gap: .75rem; 
 align-items: baseline; 
 font: 500 14px/1.3 system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; 
} 
.yeb-visits-stats.yeb–layout-stack { 
 display: inline-grid; 
 gap: .35rem; 
} 
.yeb-visits-stats .yeb-metric { 
 display: inline-flex; 
 gap: .35rem; 
 align-items: baseline; 
 white-space: nowrap; 
} 
.yeb-visits-stats .yeb-metric__label { opacity: .7; } 
.yeb-visits-stats .yeb-metric__value { font-weight: 700; } 
.yeb-visits-stats .yeb-sep { opacity: .35; } 
 “
<h3>Privacy, Cookies & Data Flow</h3>
You choose which extras to enable (location, device details, bot verification). IPs are stored in a way that groups them by network (not exact address). You can limit how often extras are called and how much data is kept.
<h3>External Service & Data Flow (Guideline 6)</h3>
This plugin can optionally call the YEB API to enrich your local analytics. Nothing is sent to YEB until you add an API key in Analytics (YEB) → Settings and enable the related toggle.
Endpoints (HTTPS):
<ul>
<li>GeoIP: <code>{base}/country</code>, <code>{base}/city</code>, <code>{base}/asn</code> (default base: <code>https://api.yeb.to/v1/geoip</code>)</li>
<li>Device analyze: <code>{endpoint}</code> (default: <code>https://api.yeb.to/v1/device-analyze</code>)</li>
<li>Bot verification: <code>{base}</code> or <code>{base}/{vendor}</code> (default base: <code>https://api.yeb.to/v1/bot/detect/detect</code>)</li>
</ul>
What is sent and when:
<ul>
<li>GeoIP Country — IP address; only if API key set and “Country” enabled (purpose: country lookup)</li>
<li>GeoIP City/Region — IP address; only if API key set and “Region & City” enabled (purpose: city/region)</li>
<li>ASN/Network — IP address; only if API key set and “ASN & Network” enabled (purpose: ASN/CIDR)</li>
<li>Device analyze — User-Agent; only if API key set and “Parse user-agent strings” enabled (purpose: browser/OS/device parsing, bot type)</li>
<li>Bot verification — IP + User-Agent; only if API key set and “Bot-Detect” enabled and UA looks like a bot (purpose: verify known crawlers)</li>
</ul>
All requests use HTTPS. The plugin stores analytics locally; enrichment results are cached locally.
YEB policies:
<ul>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://yeb.to/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://yeb.to/privacy</a></li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://yeb.to/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://yeb.to/terms</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Cookies</h3>
Two first-party cookies (pseudonymous GUIDs):
<ul>
<li><code>yeb_sid</code> — session id, 30 minutes; groups pageviews into sessions.</li>
<li><code>yeb_vid</code> — visitor id, 1 year; counts returning unique visitors.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Consent & Opt-Out (Guidelines 7 & 9)</h3>
By default, the beacon loads for visitors (logged-in admins excluded unless you enable Track logged-in admins). If your jurisdiction or policy requires consent before placing analytics cookies, gate the beacon with your consent tool.
Example (dequeue until consent):
<pre><code>`php
</code></pre>
/** 
 * Stop the YEB beacon until a custom consent flag is set. 
 * Replace the condition with your CMP’s check. 
 */ 
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, function () { 
 $consent_given = isset($_COOKIE[‘my_consent_flag’]) && $_COOKIE[‘my_consent_flag’] === ‘yes’; 
 if ( ! $consent_given ) { 
 wp_dequeue_script(‘waby-visits-beacon’); 
 wp_deregister_script(‘waby-visits-beacon’); 
 } 
}, 100); 
 `
<h3>Public REST Endpoint</h3>
The plugin exposes an intentionally public ingest endpoint used by the front-end beacon:
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
POST /wp-json/waby/v1/visit 
Alias: POST /wp-json/yeb/v1/visit 
 `
It accepts sanitized visit metadata (URL, path, referrer, UTM, screen, language, etc.) and stores it in your site’s database. It does not expose private data or modify content.
<h3>Data Retention & IP Handling</h3>
<ul>
<li>A salted hash of the visitor IP is stored to group traffic by network.</li>
<li>The raw IP is not stored by default. If you enable Store raw IP (packed), it is retained only for the number of days you set (default 7 days) and is visible to admins only.</li>
<li>During enrichment, the raw IP may be encrypted temporarily and then cleared automatically once enrichment is done or after a short fallback window.</li>
<li>You can limit daily external calls and sampling in Analytics (YEB) → Settings.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Uninstall</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you enable Delete all data on uninstall in settings, uninstalling the plugin will remove its custom tables and options.</li>
<li>Leave it off if you want to keep your analytics data.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Filters & Extensibility</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>waby_visits_stats_output</code> — filter the final HTML of the public stats shortcode.</li>
<li><code>waby_visits_cache_ttl</code> — filter select-query cache TTL (seconds) used by the dashboard and shortcode.</li>
</ul>

Koko Analytics – Privacy-Friendly WordPress Analytics


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


If you avoid google analytics and similar scripts and you just need simple visitor statistics, you can choose koko analytics! very lightweight and easy to use.


easy peasy must have plugin

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


You don't need anything else. Would be great if I could import Jetpack data into it.



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.
