Enhanced Analytics

Privacy-friendly visitor analytics — no external services, no tracking scripts sent to third parties.

The problem

Most analytics tools work by sending your visitors’ data to someone else’s servers. Google Analytics, for example, is free because your visitors’ behaviour is the product. For sites that take privacy seriously — or operate under GDPR — that’s a problem.

Enhanced Analytics keeps everything on your own server.

What it does

Privacy-first tracking — all data stays in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to external services.
AI bot filtering — automatically identifies and separates verified AI crawlers (GPT, Claude, Perplexity and more) from real visitor traffic, so your numbers are accurate.
Period comparison — compare traffic between date ranges to spot trends and measure the effect of changes.
PDF/print reports — exportable reports in English and Norwegian, ready for client handoffs or internal review.
WP Consent API integration — respects your visitors’ cookie consent choices automatically.
Works with Enhanced Caretaker — AI bot hit data flows directly into Caretaker’s diagnostics.

Who it’s for

WordPress site owners and agencies who want accurate visitor data without handing that data to Google or other third-party platforms. Particularly useful for sites with Norwegian or European audiences where GDPR compliance matters.

Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or higher
PHP 8.0 or higher

FAQ

Does this replace Google Analytics?
It depends on what you need. If you need basic traffic data and want to stay GDPR-compliant without a cookie banner for analytics, yes. If you need advanced conversion tracking or ad attribution, no.

Is the data accurate?
More accurate than most tools for real human traffic, because AI bot filtering is built in and runs automatically.

Does it work without a cookie banner?
Yes — because no data leaves your server, analytics tracking can run without requiring consent under most GDPR interpretations. Check with your legal advisor for your specific situation.

Know your traffic without giving it away.
