 * Hello! I’ve been using this great plugin for a while now but I had to remove 
   it since it slows down my website. I’m on a shared hosting.
 * Any plans to release a light version of it maybe?
 * Please let me know.
    Thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * switching the tracker behavior to Client Mode will greatly improve performance.
   Let me know if that works for you.
 * Best,
    Jason

 * Nope, that didn’t work for me, it was already in client mode.
 * Any other options I could change to gain some speed?

 * You could uninstall Browscap (via the Maintenance panel) to squeeze a little 
   performance out of Slimstat.

 * That seemed to speed it up a little.
    Can I ask what exactly Browscap does? Is
   it necessary?
 * I don’t know if this has to do with it, but instead of the pages/posts visited
   many times Slim Stat just shows:
 * **/**
 * Also, I’m getting two different IPs. One default and one Originating. Which one
   is the correct and is there a way to show only the correct one?
 * Thanks again!

 * Hi,
 * Browscap is a third-party tool we use in our plugin:
 * [http://browscap.org/](http://browscap.org/)
 * it allows Slimstat to decode the User agent string ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent))
   into a more intuitive browser name and operating system, plus other information
   about the client. When deactivated, Slimstat reverts to a faster proprietary 
   heuristic function which tries to guess the same information relying on regular
   expressions, instead of scanning the entire database of strings (browscap). As
   you can understand, this approach is much faster, but also less accurate, and
   can produce false positives when it comes to identifying crawlers vs human visitors.
 * As for the two IP addresses, please see:
 * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For)
 * Hope this helps,
    Jason

 * Thanks for the info!
 * Truth be told, it seems to be working faster without Browscap.
    I guess there
   is no other option I can tweak for even more speed optimization?
 * Thanks again!

 * I forgot to ask before.
 * When a month ends and we hit the first day of the new month, all the logs seem
   to be gone from the dashboard.
    Any way I can disable this?

 * You can use our premium add-on Default Filters and set your reports to display
   the last 30 days, instead of the current month, which is the default behavior.
 * Best,
    Jason.
