Unfortunately, there’s not much any analytics tool can do to get that information from Google these days, thanks to the NSA scandals of a few years ago:

Only Google itself has access to those encrypted keywords, and of course they can show them in GA. We’ve recently improved our algorithm to try and sniff keywords in other ways, and we hope that will help a little. Also, we’re working on adding features to read third-party cookies to gather even more information about your visitors.

Best,

@fotan thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Your help in testing this new release is very much appreciated! We’re planning on releasing it to the public on WP sometime tomorrow.

Best,

Jason

Sure, no rush. Take your time.

Hi, no worries for the delay.

We recently pushed a new release candidate to our Github repository, which should address this issue you’re experiencing:

https://github.com/slimstat/wp-slimstat/archive/master.zip

If you would like to help us test it, please download this file to your desktop and unzip it. Then, using your FTP client, replace the content in

/wp-content/plugins/wp-slimstat/

with these new files. DO NOT UNINSTALL Slimstat, or you will lose all your data. Also, given the changes to the tracker, please make sure you clear your website cache to allow Slimstat to append the new shorter tracking code to your pages. Also, if you are using Slimstat to track EXTERNAL pages (outside of your WP install), please make sure to update the tracking script there with the new one you can find in Slimstat > Settings > Tracker > External Pages.

Test this new release as thoroughly as possible, and see if the issue you were experiencing still occurs.

One last thing: this is NOT the official release just yet, and even though we consider it stable enough, we recommend that you update to the OFFICIAL release, once it’s available on the WordPress repository.

Keep me posted and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you notice any issues!

Thank you for helping us improve Slimstat!

Jason

Marking as resolved.

Any updates?
