GW Live Visitors

GW Live Visitors gives you real-time insights about your website traffic directly inside the WordPress admin.\ See how many visitors are currently active, what pages are trending, and where your traffic is coming from — without exposing any counters publicly. Unlike heavy analytics tools, GW Live Visitors is lightweight, privacy-friendly and focused on what really matters:

• Real-time visitor count (updated automatically)
• Top pages and activity trends
• Admin-only view (no public display)
• Sessions stored only short-term (24h / 7d) for performance and privacy Why only 24h / 7d?\ Because the goal is speed and simplicity. Keeping session data forever would bloat your database, slow down queries, and create GDPR/privacy concerns. By limiting storage, the plugin stays fast and keeps your data footprint small — while still giving you meaningful daily and weekly insights.

If you need long-term analytics, you can combine this with a dedicated tool such as Matomo, Plausible or Google Analytics.
