About this plugin
Infovarious Access Trend counts page views in your own database tables and shows them in the WordPress dashboard and on your site.
Statistics
- Dashboard widgets: daily, weekly, monthly and yearly bar charts, top posts, referrer domains, real-time visitors, “popular now” and today’s ranking.
- A statistics admin page (Dashboard > アクセス集計) with period filters and CSV export.
- Referrer domains (only the domain, for example google.com; never the full URL).
Popular posts on your site
- Shortcodes [ivat] and [ivat_ranking] (same attributes as [wpp]: range, limit, post_type, thumbnail_width, thumbnail_height, stats_views, offset…) and template function ivat_get_mostpopular() to show a ranking with thumbnails.
- Shortcode [ivat_views] and template function ivat_get_views() to show the view count of a post.
Link click tracking (optional, off by default)
- Records clicks on internal links, external links and mailto/tel links, aggregated per post, day and destination.
- Lists with period and type filters, an estimated click-through rate (clicks divided by the post’s page views) and CSV export.
- Click map: shows where on a page visitors click, for desktop and mobile, drawn over the page.
- Retention period setting (1 to 60 months). Older records are deleted automatically.
Built for cached sites
php, so it keeps working behind page caches and CDNs such as Cloudflare.
Privacy
- No cookies are set. Raw IP addresses and user agents are not stored.
- The visitor’s browser uses sessionStorage (not a cookie, cleared when the tab is closed) only to remember that a post has already been counted in this browsing session. Nothing is read from it by the server.
- The visitor IP address is read from the request (the CF-Connecting-IP header when the site is behind Cloudflare, otherwise REMOTE_ADDR ) only to compute the hash described below, and is never written to the database or logs.
- To avoid counting reloads and to power the real-time widget, a one-way hash of the visitor IP address, salted with a secret key of your site, is kept: the latest hash per post and day, and for no longer than 24 hours one hash per visitor and post.
- Click statistics are not recorded for visitors who send “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” (can be switched off in the settings).
- Bots, browser prefetch/prerender requests and logged-in administrators (optional) are excluded.
- No data is sent to external services.
- A suggested privacy policy text is added under Settings > Privacy.
