Plugin that will display visitors’ statistics available on GA/MySQL

  • What I understand is visitors’ data of my website is available with Google Analytics. Also, the same in some form should also be stored in MySQL.

    I plan to develop a plugin that will show on the frontend statistics from GA/MySQL such as last visitors to my website, location of last visitor.

    I understand the process involves retrieving data from GA/MySQL database and filtering to show to visitors in the frontend.

    Just confirming if I am right as this will be my first plugin creation.

    “Also, the same in some form should also be stored in MySQL.” Most of the GA plugins do not store any GA data locally. You’d really need to ask the devs of any plugins you’re using about that.

    I’m not sure if you could fetch individual user data from Google as the data is (or should be) somewhat anonymized. That’s best addressed with Google.

    If you want to see a plugin that brings GA data into the *back-end*, then look at Google Site Kit here in the repo.

    Apart from GA, is the visitors’ data in some form stored on MySQL or any other core WordPress files? Do hosting service provider has a role in accessing them? I mean my website is hosted on WPEngine. Do they have some records of website visitors that I can leverage?

    Your best off asking that question of WPE support.
