Description

JG Website Analytics is a free WordPress Plugin offering a product to monitor website visitors, which you would normally have to pay for.
With this plugin, you can understand how many visitors you have to your website, which pages are the most frequently used, which website sent them to you and how many people are on your site NOW!
Due to adblockers and privacy browsers, a considerable amount of traffic is not reported when using third-party website traffic apps, not the case with “JG Website Analytics” you have 100% of the statistics.

Initially, my aim is to create a plugin that will provide a better experience and better results than Google Analytics, the market leader. I think I am getting there but I have a lot of enhancements still to come.
Don’t spend hours trying to use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) when you can get more useful information much quicker with JG Website Analytics!
You don’t need to pay for a third-party analytics service when you can get all the information for free!

I have a short and long version of the plugin Roadmap, which I am very excited about. You can read it on our roadmap page.

Reporting on how your visitors use your website is only the first version of the plugin, it will do so much more in the future, which will also help increase user experience for your visitors and also increase the volume of traffic to your website.

What this plugin will do:

* Record 100% of the visitors to your website
* Remove any “personal” data, including IP addresses – we don’t store who your visitors are, only where they visit – GDPR
* Easy to use overview Graph and as much detail as you would like from our flexible tables.
* Real-time visitors, how many people are using your site right now, which pages they are on and where they came from.
* WooCommerce Analytics: Understand more about your customers.
* The Dashboard looks great on any device!
* All your analytics are in your WordPress dashboard; no need to go to a third-party site and log in to get your data!

There is no need for complicated configuration or settings to get going, as soon as the plugin is “Activated”, it will start recording your visitors, and you can start using JG Website Analytics.

Real Time Visitors
Find out exactly how many visitors you have on your website with our LIVE Real-Time Visitors.
Did you know that Google Analytics can’t show who is on your website right now? It can only show how many visitors have come to your website in the last 30 minutes. Not very helpful.
With JG Website Analytics, you can see how many people are on your site now and what pages they are looking at.

WooCommerce Analytics
JG Website Analytics will not only produce in-depth visitor analytics for your WordPress blog but also for every page of your WooCommerce e-commerce shop. A powerful tool to identify your best selling products.

Privacy Protected
We value everyone’s privacy as, well, private, and that is how it should be. JG Website Analytics will not store any personal data.

Reports on 100% of your website visitors
If you are a user of Google Analytics, did you know that due to Adblockers and their software restrictions, they only reported on around 48% of live visitors? Which is just not very good, is it?
Even the best third-party analytics options available can only provide a percentage of visitors to your site.
Website Analytics from Jumping Giraffe reports on 100% of your traffic as Ad blockers do not block our JavaScript snippet.

Q: What is the Website Analytics plugin?
A: The Website Analytics plugin is a free, easy-to-use privacy-focused WordPress analytics tool that tracks and reports website visitor data directly in your WordPress dashboard — no third-party service required.

Q: How is this different from Google Analytics?
A: Unlike Google Analytics, this plugin stores all data locally in WordPress, respects visitor privacy by not storing personal data, and captures 100% of traffic including users with adblockers.

Q: Do I need to sign up for an external service to use it?
A: No. Once activated the plugin starts recording visitors immediately — you do not need to sign up or log into any external account.

Q: Can I see who is on my site right now?
A: Yes — this plugin includes real-time visitor tracking so you can see how many people are on your site now and which pages they are viewing.

Q: Will this work with WooCommerce?
A: Yes — it includes WooCommerce analytics so you can better understand how customers behave on your shop pages and which products are most engaged with.

Q: Is it GDPR compliant?
A: Yes — the plugin removes personal data such as IP addresses and does not store visitor identities, helping you stay compliant with GDPR and privacy-focused regulations.

Q: What kinds of reports can I view?
A: You get an easy-to-read overview graph, flexible tables with visitor and page analytics, referrer data, and more — all from within your WordPress admin.

Q: Is this plugin free?
A: Yes — Website Analytics is completely free and currently available from the WordPress plugin repository.

Q: Do I need any configuration after activation?
A: No — there’s no complex setup: once activated the plugin begins collecting data automatically.

Q: How accurate is the visitor tracking?
A: Because the plugin’s JavaScript tracking snippet isn’t blocked by adblockers, it can record more complete traffic data than many third-party trackers.

Q; Will the plugin work on the latest version of WordPress and WooCommerce?
A: Yes, we update the plugin in advance to new versions of WordPress and WooCommerce. So when the latest versions are released our plugins are ready.

Q; How can you provide a free plugin when it costs to develop and maintain?
A: It is important to know that your plugins are kept up to date with the latest security patches and will work on the latest versions of WordPress and WooCommerce. We can do this as we use JG Website Analytics ourselves in house and have other paid plugins that depend on it. Therefore, we will not be able to sell some of our paid plugins unless this one is 100% perfect.
