5 million rows of data, really? If you want your website to slow to a crawl, and backups to take hours to generate, and restorations to take days, then this plugin may be for you. Bleh, BLOAT.

Perfect to replace UA

Fabrizio Azzali August 25, 2022

In view of replacing Universal Analytics with Google Analytics 4, I found Clicky really useful for those sites that don’t need complicated statistics. Setup is really easy

WordPress app did not work

I had to add the html script into footer before it started to work.

Clicky is one of the best analytics tool with so many ingenious features. Real time analytics is Clicky′s forte wich provide us deep insights into our customers behavior. Setup is simple and the service is dead easy to use. Highly recommended to everyone!

Didn’t work for me

HOOT August 12, 2020

I have used Clicky before, so familiar with how to set it up. However, using this plugin did not work for me. After spending days trying to get it to work without success, I finally added the Clicky tracking code to the footer.php file and tracking immediately worked. Frustrating!!!

Pretty good but….

Clicky is a great alternative to Google Analytics, which I refuse to use. I also use Statcounter. Right now I prefer Statcounter because it seems to pick up more referring page information than Clicky does. I don’t know if this is a problem with the plugin or Clicky analytics but the missing information is sometimes pretty critical because I will get a spike in traffic and I don’t know where it is coming from or what page they visited.
