Simplest Analytics tracks visits and unique users session based serverside without setting 3rd party cookies. It is also possible to track events and url paramaters. After
installing and activation the plugin it’s working without further configuration. If you want to set up custom tracking events or url parameters you can use the settings tab in
the WordPress backend.

Why use Simplest Analytics?

It is working. No function overload. Track visits, unique users and custom events like clicks.

What are the main features of the plugin?

Track page visits and unique users
Track traffic on sites
Track where your traffic comes from
Track where your woocommerce sales come from
Track custom events when a user clicks an element
Track the use of url parameters like your-site.com/?campaign=whatever
Track video views (1sec, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

Custom function you can use to track further events

You can use this function to track further events in php hooks like form submissions, apply coupons, add to cart, etc:

$data = [];
$data[‘track_type’] = “event”; // event or pageview
$data[‘event_action’] = “yourevent”; // name of the event
simple_analytics_track_data($data); // function that saves the event

How are the charts in the admin dashboard generated?

The charts are based on google-charts.js which only load in the admin backend. The data is stored in the database on the same server where your WordPress installation
is located.
