atec Stats

This plugin observes incoming traffic and logs page views and visitors.

• No configuration required.
• IP addresses are obfuscated after processing, so it is very GDPR safe.
• Optimized DB design and data types guarantee for the lowest storage usage (32 bytes per IP log entry, so roughly 1GB per 31 million distinctiv visits).
• Advanced minimal logging only adds an average of 1 ms to page load time.
• Super fast Internal IP2GEO location database for IP resolution (2.5MB).
• For multisite use, the plugin must be active on each site that you want to be included in the stats.

Specifications

• Requires jQuery in the frontend to bypass page cache plugins.
• CDN compatible (like cloudflare.com or bunny.net).
• Multisite compatible.

Tracking Behavior

This plugin sends a single stats request per pageview, triggered by the visitor’s first interaction (click, scroll, touch, etc.). An optional short timeout can fire the request if the user reads without interacting. This approach avoids interfering with normal browsing, reduces bot noise, and provides cleaner, more meaningful visit data.
