Frequently Asked Questions

Statnive is a privacy-first analytics plugin for WordPress. It gives you a clear, real-time dashboard showing where your visitors come from, what pages they view, and which traffic sources drive the most value. All data stays on your server with no third-party data transfers.

Yes. The core plugin is free and available on WordPress.org. It includes real-time dashboard, traffic sources with automatic channel grouping, geographic analytics, device and browser data, and page analytics with 30-day data retention.

Paid plans add features like form tracking, custom events, REST API access, and longer data retention. WooCommerce revenue tracking is planned for a future release.

No. Statnive is 100% cookieless. It does not use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or any form of browser storage. It also does not use fingerprinting techniques. This means you do not need a cookie consent banner for Statnive.

Yes. Statnive is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, PECR, and other privacy regulations by design. Since all data stays on your own server and no personal data is transferred to third parties, you avoid the most common compliance pitfalls.

IP addresses are used only for GeoIP lookup and then immediately discarded. Visitor hashes use daily rotating salts so the same visitor gets a different hash each day, making re-identification impossible.

Instead of storing identifiers in cookies, Statnive generates a daily visitor hash using a combination of anonymized data points. The hash uses a salt that rotates every day, so the same visitor produces a different hash on different days.

This approach counts unique visitors accurately within a single day while making it impossible to track individuals across days. Raw IP addresses are never stored.

No. The Statnive tracking script is under 5KB (compressed) and loads asynchronously, so it does not block page rendering. The tracking endpoint is optimized to add less than 25ms of overhead per request. Database queries use star schema indexes for fast reads even on high-traffic sites.

WooCommerce revenue tracking is on our roadmap for a future release. When available, Statnive will automatically detect WooCommerce and track revenue, orders, and conversion funnels with zero configuration. In the meantime, Statnive tracks all visitor traffic on WooCommerce stores — you get full page analytics, traffic sources, and geographic data today.

Yes. The Statnive dashboard shows a live visitor counter, currently active pages, and a real-time feed of recent pageviews. The default view is Today or Last 7 Days, so you always see current data first. This is available in the free plan.

Statnive automatically classifies raw referrer URLs into seven human-readable channels: Organic Search, Social Media, Email, Direct, Referral, Paid Search, and Paid Social. This happens automatically based on known referrer patterns with no manual configuration needed.

For example, traffic from google.com is classified as Organic Search, traffic from facebook.com as Social, and traffic from newsletter links with UTM parameters as Email.

Yes. The Professional plan includes REST API access for programmatic data export. You can query visitors, pageviews, traffic sources, and revenue data in JSON format. The free plan supports WordPress's built-in privacy data export and erasure tools.
