MCB - Stats

MCB Stats collects statistics of users who access to the front part of wordpress, MCB Stast is capable of collecting the total amount of time a user spends in the different pages, this requires an important server load since it does insertions in the data base every X seconds of every connected user and opened page. Luckily this charge can be configured, the more seconds the less it loads, but also it will be less precise. Even if this is the best plugin’s potential, it also collects other statistics, like links users click, buttons, when they send forms or enter to a page, the logins and the log outs. SETINGS It activates or deactivate the time the user has been in every page and enters and configures the precision of the data in seconds. The most accurate is it to be between 1 and 60 where 1 would be the maximun precision but it might also overload, in 60 the data would be updated every minute without generating any overload for the server. It is recommended to make load tests with this chart activated before putting it in production.
