I particularly like the Hybrid tracking mode, which provides detailed analytics without relying on an external analytics service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another major advantage is that it works well in a setup where the WordPress REST API is intentionally disabled for logged-out visitors, thanks to the Plain URL collection endpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The available statistics are comprehensive: visits, page views, sessions, sources, browsers, operating systems, devices, and more, while remaining much simpler than a heavy analytics solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plugin is still relatively new, but it already shows a lot of potential. Development appears active, and the configuration options provide good control over data retention and privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very good discovery. I will definitely continue using and testing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19038172","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19038172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19038172\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19038172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
