7 plugins · 1.1M combined installs · 4.5/5 avg rating
Stats and analytics plugins for WordPress track visitor behaviour, traffic sources, page views, bounce rates, and conversion events directly within the WordPress dashboard — without requiring users to navigate to external platforms. They range from lightweight first-party analytics tools focused on privacy compliance (collecting no personally identifiable information) to full integrations with Google Analytics 4, Matomo, and Plausible. These plugins are used by bloggers, publishers, and ecommerce operators who need actionable traffic data to make editorial and marketing decisions. Many stats plugins offer real-time visitor counts, heatmaps, top content reports, and WooCommerce revenue tracking, giving site owners a unified view of site performance without leaving WordPress.
