In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Widget DashboardWe do have a few charts: pageviews, search keywords, etc. Unlike WP Statistics, though, we decided to go with plain lists for most reports, since charts don’t really add much information and can be a problem when it comes to accessibility for people with disabilities. Plus, lists can be easily exported, you can paginate to drill down results, etc (you can’t do that with charts).
Please use the Customizer (Slimstat > Customize) to determine which reports/charts you’d like to display on your WordPress Dashboard.
I hope this helps,

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Widget DashboardHi @lesscro
I’m not sure I understand your request. Slimstat comes with a few charts outlining your traffic over a timeline. By using the Filter Bar, you can then drill down those charts by dimension and value (i.e., browser equals firefox). Is this what you’re looking for?
Thanks,

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Downolads StatsOk, we found the glitch (it was a sneaky one). The tracker was getting confused because of the query string attached to the extension. A bugfix is included in the next update. Thank you for pointing this out!
Best,

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeThat’s correct.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeThe main reason for using a caching mechanism is to avoid having WordPress run every time a new request is made, and to serve a snapshot of that page bypassing any dynamic content generation. Unfortunately, this also means that Slimstat’s server-side tracking code won’t be executed, this skewing the metrics collected and displayed by our plugin. I hope this makes sense.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeNot really, actually server mode is more accurate. The only drawback is that it will not work if you have any kind of caching mechanism enabled (WP Total Cache, Cloudflare, etc). That’s why we offer both options.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeWhen Slimstat is configured to work in Client Mode, all the computation needed to record a new pageview is done AFTER the page is sent to the browser, so you should not see any noticeable impact on your site’s performance. Can you try deactivating both Browscap and Maxmind in Slimstat > Settings > Maintenance, and see if that makes any difference? Also, what version of PHP do you have on your server?

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeIt’s in Slimstat > Settings > General.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeI see. Is Slimstat configured to work in “Server” or “Client” mode in the settings?

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeI would recommend installing this plugin to troubleshoot the issue:

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Nickname instead of Username in widgets?@jaroslawistok Slimstat will show users based on the time that pageview was recorded, so it is possible that they are not active anymore, but still listed in your reports. As for the number, is the percentage of pageviews generated by that specific user over the TOTAL amount of pageviews recorded so far.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Slow load timeHi @imtino
there are many reasons why admin-ajax.php is slower than usual, as it’s used by many plugins and WordPress itself to send information back to the server. You could start by deactivating your other plugins to see if you notice any performance improvements, and then reactivate them one by one. Just out of curiosity, how many records does your wp_slim_stats table contain?
Thank you,

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Another javascript errorHi Paula,
would you mind testing the version we just pushed on Github? Please DO NOT UNINSTALL Slimstat, or you will lose all your data. Simply replace the files with the ones you will download from Github.
Thank you,
Jason
