Live Traffic Analytics

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις

What does this plugin track?

The plugin can track page views, active sessions, visitor countries, referrers, device type, browser family, user journeys, top pages, and bot activity.

Is this a live visitor tracker for WordPress?

Yes. The plugin works as a live visitor tracker and shows active traffic in the WordPress dashboard using recent activity data from your own site.

Is this a realtime analytics plugin for WordPress?

Yes. The admin dashboard refreshes automatically, so you can monitor active sessions, live activity, top pages, and bot traffic in near realtime.

Does it work on localhost?

Yes, but localhost traffic commonly uses private IP addresses such as 127.0.0.1 or ::1, so country and map data may appear as unknown during local testing.

Does the plugin use custom database tables?

Yes. The plugin stores analytics data in dedicated custom tables for activity, sessions, and page statistics.

Which database tables does the plugin create?

The plugin uses dedicated tables for activity logs, session paths, and page statistics so analytics queries stay separate from standard WordPress content tables.

Can I see the most visited pages?

Yes. The Top Pages section shows page URLs, total views, and latest visit timestamps so you can identify which pages are currently performing well.

Can I track user journey or visitor path flow?

Yes. The User Journey section groups multiple page visits into a session path so you can understand how visitors move through your website.

Does this plugin show referrer and source traffic?

Yes. Live activity and session tracking can include referrer data when it is available from the visitor request.

Is the data shown in real time?

The admin dashboard uses lightweight refresh requests to show near realtime analytics updates.

Can it detect bots?

Yes. The plugin includes bot detection using user-agent checks and suspicious request pattern scoring.

What kind of bots can it detect?

The plugin can identify common bots through user-agent patterns and can also flag suspicious automated traffic based on repeated request behavior.

Can I use this plugin instead of a large analytics platform?

It depends on your needs. Live Traffic Analytics is useful for lightweight realtime visibility inside WordPress, but full enterprise analytics platforms may still offer broader reporting, attribution, and historical analysis.

Will it slow down my site?

The plugin is designed to be lightweight and uses optimized storage and scoped tracking, but every analytics system adds some overhead. It is best practice to test on your own hosting stack before production rollout on very high traffic sites.

Does the plugin track wp-admin visitors?

No. The tracking flow avoids admin requests and other noisy request types where possible to keep analytics cleaner.

Why does the live map show limited location detail?

The plugin is designed to remain lightweight and privacy-conscious. On some environments, exact latitude and longitude precision may depend on the hosting or proxy headers available to WordPress.

Is this plugin suitable for blogs, business websites, and ecommerce stores?

Yes. It can be useful for blogs, agency sites, company websites, landing pages, and ecommerce stores that want lightweight live analytics inside WordPress.

Can developers extend this plugin later?

Yes. The plugin uses a modular structure with separate admin, public, and include layers, which makes future feature expansion easier.

Where can I view the analytics after activation?

After activating the plugin, open the Traffic Analytics menu in WordPress admin. Visit a few frontend pages first if you want to immediately generate test data.
