PingAura Telemetry

It does not delay page rendering. The script is a few hundred bytes, runs after the page has loaded, and sends one small background request to your own site, which answers straight away and forwards the visit afterwards. Each tracked visit is one extra, uncached request to WordPress, similar to other self-hosted analytics plugins.

Yes. Visits are recorded by the script, so cached pages are counted. Saving the settings clears LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket and WP Super Cache so the script appears straight away. Other caches may need clearing by hand.

A page cache usually answers crawler requests before WordPress runs. Add the crawler user agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and others) to your cache plugin's list of user agents that are never cached, and turn on AI crawler reporting.

Yes. Add define( 'PINGAURA_TELEMETRY_KEY', 'pa_...' ); to wp-config.php. It takes precedence over the key saved on the settings page.

Behind a CDN, WordPress sees the CDN's address unless your server restores the visitor's. If countries look wrong, read the CDN's header with the pingaura_telemetry_client_ip filter. See the plugin's README for an example.

Like any analytics that relies on the visitor's browser, anyone can send fake visits to your site. PingAura limits how many events a workspace can send, and the plugin ignores requests from other sites and malformed data.

IndexNow is an open protocol for telling search engines a page has changed. With it turned on, Bing and other participating search engines hear about a new or updated page within seconds instead of waiting to recrawl. Click "Submit all published pages" once after turning it on to send your existing pages. It works without a PingAura account. Google does not support IndexNow; for Google, submit your sitemap in Search Console. Right after you turn it on, the first submission can be refused with 403 while the search engine verifies the key file. Wait a few minutes and click the button again.

Only that a click on a phone, email or WhatsApp link happened, on which page, and which AI assistant or other source brought the visitor. It does not record the phone number, email address or message. It sets no cookies. It stores the landing source in the visitor's browser for 30 minutes, so a click a few pages later is still credited to the AI assistant that sent the visitor.

Not for visitors. An administrator who turns on test visits gets a cookie in their own browser for 24 hours.

202 means PingAura accepted the event. 401 means the key is wrong or revoked. 403 means the domain is not registered on the key's account, or PingAura Telemetry is not enabled for it.
