FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it use cookies?

No. Tracking is cookieless, no personally identifiable information is stored and IP addresses are hashed.

Do I need a cookie consent banner?

Because no cookies are set and no personal data is collected, in most cases you won’t need a consent banner for your analytics. Check the rules that apply to your site.

Will it slow down my site?

No. There are no external scripts or third-party requests, and tracking is cache-friendly, so page load times and Core Web Vitals are not affected.

I use Advanced Page Visit Counter. Can I switch?

Yes. Install and activate Page Visit Counter Analytics, deactivate Advanced Page Visit Counter, and your visit counts, settings and tracking rules migrate automatically.

Why is the dashboard showing zero visitors?

Make sure tracking is enabled in the plugin settings, and that your own user role is not excluded from tracking.

What does Pro add?

UTM campaign tracking, goal and conversion tracking, user journeys, referrer breakdown, scheduled email reports and click heatmaps (beta).
