InkaTrace for Activity & Audit Log

InkaTrace for Activity & Audit Log is a practical and lightweight WordPress activity monitoring plugin built for administrators, site managers, developers, agencies, schools, organizations, and businesses that need clear visibility into what is happening inside a WordPress site.

InkaTrace is designed to provide a focused audit workflow without unnecessary complexity. The free edition covers essential monitoring and investigation needs, while the Pro edition expands the workflow with deeper compliance, reporting, export, and retention capabilities.
