This plugin does one thing: it adds the iCONstat tracking script to every page of your WordPress site. That is it. **Why iCONstat?** * No database required – all data stored in flat files * GDPR-compliant by design – no cookies, no personal data collection * Self-hosted – your data stays on your server * Lightweight – PageSpeed scores of 99-100 * Simple dashboard – no complexity, just the metrics that matter * One-time payment – no subscriptions, no recurring fees The plugin will show a friendly reminder in your admin panel if the iCONstat files are not yet uploaded. **Note:** This plugin requires a valid iCONstat license. You can purchase one at [iconsuite.it/iconstat](https://iconsuite.it/iconstat). ## Screenshots * [[ * iCONstat Tracker active in the WordPress plugins list * [[ * The tracking script correctly injected in the page source * [[ * Quick access link in the WordPress admin bar * [[ * iCONstat analytics dashboards (requires separate iCONstat installation) ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin inside WordPress, or unzip the plugin file, upload the iconstat-tracker folder to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it 2. Upload your iCONstat _iconstat/ installation folder in your WordPress root directory via FTP 3. Activate iCONstat with your credentials and a valid license 4. That is it – the tracking script is now active on all pages ## FAQ ### Do I need an iCONstat license? Yes. This plugin only adds the tracking script to your pages. You need a valid iCONstat installation with an active license for analytics to work. Visit [iconsuite.it/iconstat](https://iconsuite.it/iconstat) to get your license. ### What happens if iCONstat is not installed? The plugin will try to load a small JavaScript file that will not be found (404). This has no impact on your site performance. You will also see a helpful notice in your WordPress admin panel reminding you to upload the iCONstat files. ### Does this plugin use cookies? No. iCONstat is designed to be GDPR-compliant and does not use cookies or collect personal data. ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. The plugin adds a single lightweight script tag with the defer attribute. iCONstat itself is designed for maximum performance, consistently achieving PageSpeed scores of 99-100. ### Is this plugin compatible with caching and optimization plugins? Yes. The plugin adds optimizer-exclusion attributes (data-no-optimize, data-no-minify, data-cfasync) to the script tag to prevent SiteGround Optimizer, WP Rocket, Autoptimize, LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare from modifying the tracker script. This ensures reliable tracking on all hosting environments. ### Will WordPress updates break this plugin? Extremely unlikely. The plugin uses standard WordPress APIs (wp_enqueue_scripts, wp_script_attributes, script_loader_tag) that are stable and well-documented. There is nothing to break. ### Where do I see my analytics? Access your iCONstat dashboard directly at yoursite.com/_iconstat/iconstat.php ( or wherever you installed iCONstat). A quick link is also available in your WordPress admin bar. Analytics are not displayed inside WordPress admin. ### The plugin doesn’t detect my _iconstat installation. What should I do? If you have uploaded the `_iconstat` folder to your site root but the plugin still cannot detect it, your server structure may be complex (e.g., WordPress in a subdirectory, custom document root, or symlinks). In this case, you can try the free [iCONstat Tracker Plus](https://iconsuite.it/iconstat#tracker) version, which includes advanced auto-detection and manual path override for challenging environments. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cbb2e06a93ba0d44bface614c5663d4b557b33f3a9358e0e7124bb9078292c46? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple, fast and effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-fast-and-effective-11/)󠁿 [sotesc77](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sotesc77/) April 16, 2026 Installation was a breeze and it does exactly what it says.
