Privacy-first. ### What you get * **At-a-glance KPIs**: pageviews, sessions, unique visitors, pages per session. * **Interactions (sessions)**: session explorer with landing, referrer, per-session timeline (page history), avg. load, distinct pages, pageviews, expand/collapse. * **Content insights**: top URLs, titles, post IDs. * **Acquisition**: referrers (root domains) and UTM (source/medium/campaign). * **Audience**: countries, regions, cities, languages, common screen sizes. * **Tech**: device type, OS, browser. * **Bots (with verification)**: separate verified search engine hits (Google, Bing, etc.). * **Networks**: major networks/ISPs and their CIDR ranges. * **CSV export**: exports exactly what your current filters show. * **SPA-friendly & IPv6-ready**. ### Why people choose it * **Clear and calm**: focused reports, no maze of menus. * **Actionable filters**: time window, path, title, country/city, referrer, device, OS, browser, language, UTM, bot type. * **You stay in control**: richer info (city, device brand/model, verified bot checks) is optional — enable only what you want. ### Setup (optional extras) Want richer details like city/region, device brand/model, or verified bot checks? 1. Sign in at **https://yeb.to** and create an API key (free test credits). 2. In WordPress, open **Analytics (YEB) Settings**, paste your key. 3. Toggle the extras you want (Geo, Network/ASN, Device details, Bot verification). Nothing is sent to YEB until you add a key **and** turn on a feature — you choose. ### Usage * Go to **Analytics (YEB) Dashboard** for your reports. * Use the tabs to dive into **Overview, Interactions, Content, Acquisition, Audience, Tech, Bots, Networks**. * Click **Export CSV** to download exactly what you’re viewing. ### Shortcode (public mini-stats) Show small, public counters anywhere (pages, posts, widgets, site editor). **Basic:** ` [waby_visits_stats] ; whole site, last 7 days [waby_visits_stats period=”30d”] ; whole site, last 30 days [waby_visits_stats period=”1d” bots=”only”] ; bots only, yesterday [waby_visits_stats page=”/pricing”] ; just /pricing page, last 7 days ``` ` ``` **Auto-detect current page:** ` [waby_visits_stats current_page] ``` ` ``` If `page=""` isn’t provided, `current_page` uses the current request path. **Show exactly what you want:** ` [waby_visits_stats show=”visits”] ; only total visits (pageviews) [waby_visits_stats show=”uniques”] ; only unique visitors [waby_visits_stats show=”both”] ; both (default) ``` ` ``` **Bot filter:** – `bots="exclude"` (default) — show human traffic and unverified bot-like traffic treated as human – `bots="only"` — bot traffic only – `bots="include"`— include everything **Labels, layout & CSS hooks (for custom styling):** ` [waby_visits_stats current_page show=”both” label_visits=”Views” label_uniques=” Visitors” layout=”inline” ; inline | stack sep=” • ” wrap_tag=”div” ; div | span | p item_tag=”span” ; span | div wrapper_class=”stats stats–mini” item_class=”stats__item” label_class=”stats__label” value_class=”stats__value” ] ``` `` ``` **All attributes:** – `period`: `1d`, `7d` (default), `30d` – `page`: limit to a path (e.g. `/pricing`) – `current_page`: presence-only flag to use the current URL path – `bots`: `exclude` (default), `only`, `include` – `show`: `visits`, `uniques`,` both` (default) – `label_visits` (default `Visits`), `label_uniques` (default `Unique`)–` layout`: `inline` (default) or `stack` – `sep`: separator when `layout="inline"`( default `|`) – `wrap_tag`: `div` (default), `span`, `p` – `item_tag`: `span` (default),` div` – `wrapper_class`, `item_class`, `label_class`, `value_class`: extra CSS classes ### Styling the shortcode Paste this CSS into **Appearance Customize Additional CSS** (or your theme stylesheet): ` css /* YEB Visits – public stats */ .yeb-visits-stats { display: inline-flex; gap:. 75rem; align-items: baseline; font: 500 14px/1.3 system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; } .yeb-visits-stats.yeb–layout-stack { display: inline-grid; gap: .35rem; } .yeb-visits-stats .yeb-metric { display: inline- flex; gap: .35rem; align-items: baseline; white-space: nowrap; } .yeb-visits-stats. yeb-metric__label { opacity: .7; } .yeb-visits-stats .yeb-metric__value { font-weight: 700; } .yeb-visits-stats .yeb-sep { opacity: .35; } “ ### Privacy, Cookies & Data Flow You choose which extras to enable (location, device details, bot verification). IPs are stored in a way that groups them by network (not exact address). You can limit how often extras are called and how much data is kept. ### External Service & Data Flow (Guideline 6) This plugin can optionally call the YEB API to enrich your local analytics. Nothing is sent to YEB until you add an API key in **Analytics (YEB) Settings** and enable the related toggle. **Endpoints (HTTPS):** * GeoIP: `{base}/country`, `{base}/city`, `{base}/asn` (default base: `https:// api.yeb.to/v1/geoip`) * Device analyze: `{endpoint}` (default: `https://api.yeb.to/v1/device-analyze`) * Bot verification: `{base}` or `{base}/{vendor}` (default base: `https://api.yeb. to/v1/bot/detect/detect`) **What is sent and when:** * GeoIP Country — IP address; only if API key set and “Country” enabled (purpose: country lookup) * GeoIP City/Region — IP address; only if API key set and “Region & City” enabled( purpose: city/region) * ASN/Network — IP address; only if API key set and “ASN & Network” enabled (purpose: ASN/CIDR) * Device analyze — User-Agent; only if API key set and “Parse user-agent strings” enabled (purpose: browser/OS/device parsing, bot type) * Bot verification — IP + User-Agent; only if API key set and “Bot-Detect” enabled and UA looks like a bot (purpose: verify known crawlers) All requests use HTTPS. The plugin stores analytics locally; enrichment results are cached locally. **YEB policies:** * Privacy Policy: [https://yeb.to/privacy](https://yeb.to/privacy) * Terms of Service: [https://yeb.to/terms](https://yeb.to/terms) ### Cookies Two first-party cookies (pseudonymous GUIDs): * `yeb_sid` — session id, 30 minutes; groups pageviews into sessions. * `yeb_vid` — visitor id, 1 year; counts returning unique visitors. ### Consent & Opt-Out (Guidelines 7 & 9) By default, the beacon loads for visitors (logged-in admins excluded unless you enable **Track logged-in admins**). If your jurisdiction or policy requires consent before placing analytics cookies, gate the beacon with your consent tool. **Example (dequeue until consent):** ``` `php ``` /** * Stop the YEB beacon until a custom consent flag is set. * Replace the condition with your CMP’s check. */ add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, function () { $consent_given = isset($_COOKIE[‘my_consent_flag’]) && $_COOKIE[‘my_consent_flag’] === ‘yes’; if(! $consent_given ) { wp_dequeue_script(‘waby-visits-beacon’); wp_deregister_script(‘ waby-visits-beacon’); } }, 100); ` ### Public REST Endpoint The plugin exposes an intentionally public ingest endpoint used by the front-end beacon: ``` ` ``` POST /wp-json/waby/v1/visit Alias: POST /wp-json/yeb/v1/visit ` It accepts sanitized visit metadata (URL, path, referrer, UTM, screen, language, etc.) and stores it in your site’s database. It does not expose private data or modify content. ### Data Retention & IP Handling * A salted hash of the visitor IP is stored to group traffic by network. * The raw IP is not stored by default. If you enable **Store raw IP (packed)**, it is retained only for the number of days you set (default **7 days**) and is visible to admins only. * During enrichment, the raw IP may be encrypted temporarily and then cleared automatically once enrichment is done or after a short fallback window. * You can limit daily external calls and sampling in **Analytics (YEB) Settings**. ### Uninstall * If you enable **Delete all data on uninstall** in settings, uninstalling the plugin will remove its custom tables and options. * Leave it off if you want to keep your analytics data. ### Filters & Extensibility * `waby_visits_stats_output` — filter the final HTML of the public stats shortcode. * `waby_visits_cache_ttl` — filter select-query cache TTL (seconds) used by the dashboard and shortcode. ## Screenshots * [[ * Overview with KPIs and top lists * [[ * Interactions (sessions with expandable visit history) * [[ * Content & Acquisition (pages, titles, UTM, referrers) * [[ * Audience & Tech (countries, regions, devices, OS, browsers) * [[ * Bots & Networks (verified bots, ASN/CIDR) * [[ * Export CSV ## Installation 1. Upload the `website-analytics-by-yeb` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it via **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate **Website Analytics by YEB**. ## FAQ ### Does it track logged-in admins? Not unless you turn it on in settings. ### Can I use it alongside Google Analytics? Yes. Many sites keep GA for marketing funnels and use YEB for a clean on-site dashboard, verified bot accounting, and exports. ### Will this help explain sudden traffic spikes? Yes — the Bots tab separates verified search engine hits (e.g., Googlebot) from everything else, so you can quickly see what’s real. ### Does it support IPv6? Yes, end-to-end. ### Can I export data? Yes. Export CSV downloads exactly what your current filters show. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Website Analytics by YEB” is open source software.
