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>

</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”

]
<pre><code>``
</code></pre>

<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>
