StatCounter - Real Time Visitor Stats, Session Replay & Heatmaps

The Official StatCounter WordPress Plugin adds StatCounter to your site in a couple of clicks - no code editing required. StatCounter has provided reliable, real-time visitor analytics to millions of websites since 1999, and now includes session replay and heatmaps. Session Replay Watch recordings of real visits to your site - a video-like playback of each visitor's clicks, scrolls and page navigation:

• See exactly where visitors get stuck, confused or frustrated
• Understand why visitors abandon carts, forms and signups
• Watch how visitors from a specific campaign, country or referrer actually use your site
• Improve support: replay a customer's session to see what went wrong

Heatmaps See at a glance where your visitors click - and what they ignore:

• Click heatmaps highlight the links, buttons and images getting the most attention
• Interactive elements like dropdowns and mobile menus are tracked too
• Spot "dead clicks" on elements that look clickable but aren't
• Compare engagement across desktop and mobile

Real-Time Visitor Stats All the classic StatCounter reports, updated in real time:

• Popular pages, entry pages and exit pages
• Incoming traffic: referring sites, keywords and campaigns
• Visitor paths, visit length and returning visits
• Country, state and city stats with a recent visitor map
• Browser, OS, screen resolution and ISP stats
• Magnify individual visitors for a detailed session report
• Email reports, multiple site management and user access management
• Invisible counter option
