Infovarious Access Trend

Description

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

Counting is done by a small script in the visitor’s browser that sends a request to admin-ajax.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.

Import

• Import past daily page views from WordPress Popular Posts (read-only).
