DevDome Analytics – Real Traffic Without Bot Noise

DevDome Analytics gives you a clearer view of real website traffic by detecting known bots and AI crawlers and reporting them separately from human visitors. A lightweight Google Analytics alternative for WordPress: track visitors, pageviews, sessions, live traffic, top pages, referrers, countries, devices, and outbound-link clicks without filling your WordPress database with analytics data, and with cookieless general traffic tracking on new installs. A free DevDome account is required because collection, processing, and full reports are provided by the hosted DevDome Analytics service. Nothing is tracked or sent until you connect the site. Real traffic without bot noise Known crawlers and AI bots are identified and shown in separate reports instead of being mixed into your visitor numbers. This helps you understand how much of your traffic comes from people and how much comes from crawlers. Bot detection covers known search crawlers, SEO crawlers, and AI crawlers. Unknown or disguised bots may not always be identifiable. Website traffic analytics

• Visitors, pageviews, sessions, live visitors, and top pages.
• Referrers, countries, browsers, operating systems, and device types.
• Pages per visit, average session duration, bounce rate, and click-through rates.
• Reports for the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, or 12 months.

AI referrals and crawler reports See visits referred by AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. Known AI crawlers, search-engine bots, and SEO crawlers are reported separately so you can compare human traffic with crawler activity. Outbound-link click tracking Track which external links visitors click. Outbound clicks are relayed through your own domain, helping preserve click events that may otherwise be missed when a third-party analytics script is blocked. Privacy controls

• New installs use cookieless general traffic tracking by default.
• Returning-visitor tracking is optional and disabled on new installs.
• Outbound-link tracking uses localStorage and sessionStorage only after a visitor clicks an external link; it can be disabled.
• Logged-in administrators are excluded by default, and any WordPress role can be excluded.
• Browser Do Not Track signals are respected by default.
• No form values, post content, user accounts, customer details, order data, or payment data are collected.
• Each tracking feature has its own switch, plus a master switch to stop all tracking.

No analytics database bloat The plugin creates no analytics tables and stores no pageviews, visits, clicks, or sessions in your WordPress database. Only plugin settings, connection details, and short-lived operational transients are stored locally. Reports in WordPress and DevDome The WordPress Overview tab shows key numbers including visitors, live visitors, bots, clicks, pageviews, click-through rates, pages per visit, session duration, and bounce rate. Detailed traffic analytics, AI referral reports, outbound-click reports, and crawler activity are available in your DevDome account. Connect in minutes Open DevDome > Analytics, connect your DevDome account, review the tracking settings, and enable only the features you want.

1.0.2

• Unified DevDome suite icons and updated the suite hub with one-click installs for WordPress.org plugins.

1.0.1

• No request is made to DevDome before you act: the one-click connect link is now requested only when you press "Connect Via DevDome Account", and the account check no longer runs until a connection has been started or completed. Off by default, opt-in by a button press.
• The connect screen now says exactly what connecting sends before you press the button.
• Every field of the relayed outbound-click event is individually validated and sanitized before it is forwarded, and the site and account identifiers in it now always come from the plugin's own settings, never from the request body.
• Request paths and IP addresses read from server variables are sanitized where they are read.

1.0.0

• First release on WordPress.org.
• The admin screen's styles and behaviour now load as enqueued files instead of inline blocks.
• The tracking snippet is enqueued too: the plugin no longer writes script tags into the page markup. Outbound-click counting is unchanged, including on sites where a blocker stops the tracker file from loading.
• Internal rename: every function, class, constant, option and transient the plugin owns now carries its own identifier prefix. Existing settings and your DevDome connection are carried across automatically.
• Fixed a fatal error that could break wp-admin on sites running several DevDome plugins when this one loaded first.
