Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Novera Smart Chat – Floating Chat Button, Click to Chat & Analytics version 1.1.0 as active, updated 9d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Novera Smart Chat adds a floating WhatsApp button to every page of your site. Visitors tap it and start a WhatsApp chat with you, with the page they were looking at already written in the message.
Unlike most WhatsApp chat buttons, it also tells you which pages, campaigns and devices bring you WhatsApp conversations, and it can fire your Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel and GA4 conversion events on every click.
Floating WhatsApp button that looks right on every theme
Clean round button on phones, pill button with text on desktop
4 corner positions, 3 sizes, any brand color
Styles are isolated from your theme and page builder (Elementor, Divi, Astra, OceanWP, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy and others), so the button keeps its shape
Show on every page, hide on selected pages, or show only on mobile
Online / offline tooltip based on your working hours, including overnight hours such as 20:00 – 08:00
RTL, keyboard and screen reader friendly, respects “reduce motion”
Click to chat with the page link
Pre-filled WhatsApp message with a {url} placeholder for the current page
Works on product pages, blog posts, landing pages and archives
Ad click ids and UTM tags are removed from the link in the message, so it stays short and clean
WhatsApp click analytics
Clicks per day, per hour, per page and per device
Traffic source and UTM campaign performance (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign)
Dashboard widget for administrators
CSV export for Excel or Google Sheets
Conversion tracking for ads
Sends a whatsapp_click event to Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager (dataLayer) automatically
Sends a Meta Pixel Contact event automatically
Add your own Google Ads conversion snippet or any tracking code, with a test button in the settings
Fast and cache friendly
About 6 KB of CSS and JavaScript (gzipped), no jQuery on the front end, deferred script
Works with page caching (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare): no expiring security tokens, working hours are checked in the visitor’s browser
Click tracking uses sendBeacon, so clicks are recorded even when WhatsApp opens instantly
Privacy
All statistics stay in your own WordPress database, nothing is sent to Novera Media
Visitor IP addresses are never stored, only a one-way hash used to block click flooding
