Hello and thank you for your message.

What kind of data aggregation are you looking for? Any special charts you would like to see?

In case you want to create your own Dashboards I can recommend Looker Studio. You can add the WordPress Database as Data source and then you can aggregate data and visualize it in a very user friendly way.

Beste regards, Stefan

I marked this as resolved. In case you have further questions feel free to ask.

Hello and thank you for your message!

I just wanted to follow up if everything is working fine with your code and if you use it? I am planning a new update and then I would add a filter to override the session so that you can use the filter. Then its update save for you and maybe also others are interested in this feature.

Thanks again and happy to hear back from you

Hello and thank you for your message. Sorry for my late reply (have to set up notifications for this forum)

1.

here you can see the rows that are created in the table: https://github.com/stefan-klaes/simplest-analytics-wordpress-plugin/blob/main/simplest-analytics/includes/class-activator.php

Every page load will save one row in the database. E.g. 1 user visits 100 pages = 100 rows or 50 users with 2 avg page views = 100 rows. If you use also click tracking it will also create one row per measured click on defined elements.

calculating the kilobytes is not that easy. I would guess 1000 rows will be around 400 kilobytes.

my plugin provides an easy solution to delete old rows in case you want to keep it small. If you have a website with high traffic it could make sense to calculate it more in detail. For super high traffic it could male sense to use external services. For smaller/normal websites this should not be a lot of data.

Yes, you can use caching plugins. In case you use my plugins click/event tracking it could make sense to clear the cache after adding a new tracking because it will add javascript to the code. Just to make sure there is no old version cached.

If you have further questions please let me know.

Hello, I wanted to follow up on thos topic. I checked the possibility to store the traffic from page 1 in the database of page 2. Of course it is possible but it won’t fit the scope of my plugin to really be simplest analytics. The functionality would be a little bot too complicated for some users and the code would be bigger than I would like to. Thats why I don’t add the feature. But for your case I would recommend to schedule a daily or weekly tasks that fetches the database and stores it in another database. So you can keep your database clean. I hope this idea helps

Hi @davidki,

thank you for your message and your feature request. I totally get your point and I think it is a great idea.

At the moment it is not possible but I will integrate it with the next update. The next update is planned for mid of october.

Thanks again and feel free to follow up in this conversation after testing it when the update is live.

Best regards,
Stefan
