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>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.

</ul>
<h3>Shortcode (public mini-stats)</h3>
Show small, public counters anywhere (pages, posts, widgets, site editor).
Basic: 
 <code>[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</code>
Auto-detect current page: 
 <code>[waby_visits_stats current_page]</code>
If <code>page=""</code> isn’t provided, <code>current_page</code> uses the current request path.
Show exactly what you want: 
 <code>[waby_visits_stats show="visits"] ; only total visits (pageviews) 
[waby_visits_stats show="uniques"] ; only unique visitors 
[waby_visits_stats show="both"] ; both (default)</code>
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): 
 <code>[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" 
]</code>
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>label_visits</code> (default <code>Visits</code>), <code>label_uniques</code> (default <code>Unique</code>) 
– <code>layout</code>: <code>inline</code> (default) or <code>stack</code> 
– <code>sep</code>: separator when <code>layout="inline"</code> (default <code>|</code>) 
– <code>wrap_tag</code>: <code>div</code> (default), <code>span</code>, <code>p</code> 
– <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): 
 <code>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; }</code>
<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): 
 <code>php 
/** 
 * 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);</code>
<h3>Public REST Endpoint</h3>
The plugin exposes an intentionally public ingest endpoint used by the front-end beacon: 
 <code>POST /wp-json/waby/v1/visit 
Alias: POST /wp-json/yeb/v1/visit</code>
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>

Website Analytics by YEB

WordPress analytics: pageviews & sessions with interactions, verified bots, GeoIP, CSV export. Privacy-first.

pluginkollektiv

Statify provides a straightforward and compact access to the number of site views. It is privacy-friendly as it uses neither cookies nor a third party.
An interactive chart is followed by lists of the most common reference sources and target pages. The period of statistics and length of lists can be set directly in the dashboard widget.
<h3>Data Privacy</h3>
In direct comparison to statistics services such as Google Analytics, WordPress.com Stats and Matomo (Piwik) Statify doesn’t process and store personal data as e.g. IP addresses – Statify counts site views, not visitors.
Absolute privacy compliance coupled with transparent procedures: A locally in WordPress created database table consists of only four fields (ID, date, source, target) and can be viewed at any time, cleaned up and cleared by the administrator.
Due to this tracking approach, Statify is 100% compliant with GDPR and serves as an lightweight alternative to other tracking services.
<h3>Display of the widget</h3>
The plugin configuration can be changed directly in the Statify Widget on the dashboard by clicking the Configure link.
The amount of links shown in the Statify Widget can be set as well as the option to only count views from today. Of course, older entries are not deleted when changing this setting.
The statistics for the dashboard widget are cached for four minutes.
<h3>Period of data saving</h3>
Statify stores the data only for a limited period (default: two weeks), longer intervals can be selected as option in the widget. Data which is older than the selected period is deleted by a daily cron job.
An increase in the database volume can be expected because all statistic values are collected and managed in the local WordPress database (especially if you increase the period of data saving).
<h3>JavaScript tracking for caching compatibility</h3>
For compatibility with caching plugins like <a href="http://cachify.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Cachify</a> Statify offers an optional switchable tracking via JavaScript. This function allows reliable count of cached blog pages.
For this to work correctly, the active theme has to call <code>wp_footer()</code>, typically in a file named <code>footer.php</code>.
<h3>Skip tracking for spam referrers</h3>
The comment blacklist can be enabled to skip tracking for views with a referrer URL listed in comment blacklist, i. e. which considered as spam.
<h3>Support</h3>

Statify


Simple an clean statistic plugin. Just works.


Just simple stats.


A simple stats package that runs on your own site, so you aren't sending visitor data to some third party service just to count page views. Not as full-featured as Jetpack Stats, but much more privacy-friendly! Good for the basic use case of "where are most of my visitors coming from and what are the reading the most?" Works with ClassicPress too!


Simple, privacy-friendly stats

Visitor statistics for WordPress with focus on data protection, transparency and clarity. Perfect as a widget in your WordPress Dashboard.
