Hi abidhamma,
Glad to hear!

Hi Andrzej,

Changing the Overview graph will change how many days to draw, it
wouldn’t affect the plugin performance.

I recommend deactivate the plugin(s) and test the site speed before and after. Check the performance using P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/p3-profiler/

On Statcomm overview, below all the boxes, there is a ‘Time Summary’ box where you can see render time and table size, among other information. Typical times should be under 5 seconds.

If you want to reduce the database size I would recommend change settings ‘Automatically delete visits older than’ to 3 months for example and ‘Automatically delete spiders older than’ to one month or suppress it completely using ‘Do not collect spiders visits’ checkbox.

Disabling User Agent String Database will disable also the ability of Statcomm for detecting OS and browsers. This should be used in special cases when you are certain you have plugin problems not necessarily performance ones.

Currently I’m testing the plugin with 500MB tables and there is no performance hit.

Hope this help you!

Hi jardokraka,
that is an interesting question.

The plugin has a filter named statcomm_preinsert you can use it to stop recording under several conditions. It has one parameter with all information available prior saving to the database. If you return an empty string from the filter, the record is skipped.

This example should do what you’re looking for. Please add the following code in the functions.php file under your current theme:

add_filter('statcomm_preinsert','do_not_log_admin');
function do_not_log_admin($scu) {
   if ($scu->getUser() =="admin"){ //avoid logging from admin user
      return "";
   }
   return $scu; //no changes
}

remember to put the proper admin or user name you want to skip.

Sure, I would recommend Bad Behavior https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/bad-behavior/
and also SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/.
Both plugins worked great putting the spam and traffic issues under control.
For other side, cloudflare https://www.cloudflare.com/ allowed me to replace plugin cache entirely and also provides lot of extra utilities to catch and suppress undesiderable traffic and spam, including a panel control with statistics. Powerful and lovely at the same time.

That worked for me, but I encourage you to make your own findings and see what would work for you… and tell us later! ??

Best luck.
Fernando

Hi blackogre,
I usually get a lot of traffic coming from around the world and specially from China and Russia. i don’t think that is wrong, but for precaution I use spam filters and cloudflare.

I didn’t hear that Statcomm crashes any site before. But if but If you come across with that odd situation when installing the plugin , just rename the plugin folder to another different name. (stapress-community-formerly-stsatcomm to statcomm-deactivate for example)

WordPress will deactivate the plugin and you’ll avoid restoring entire site because of that. This trick will work with any plugin.

Hope this help.

Hi,
current version 1.7.60 should fix problem behind proxies.

Yes it does, you need a way to detect the database downloaded and installed.
Also StatPress does not download anything, StatComm does :).

Hi neysachen,
I’m apologize for the delay.
The error was fixed on current version 1.7.60
Give it a try.

Statcomm can’t detect new blogs installed on the network.
That is because the plugin needs to install a table for each blog in the current multisite. But it doesn’t attempt to install a table to newer ones.

I would recommend to uninstall the plugin and reinstall (without deleting tables option activated). That will install the missing table on the newer blogs and should solve the issue.

Current version 1.7.60 adress the problem thanks rogst suggestion.
Rogst you will be mentioned on the contributor list.
Thank you.

Hi PT,
sorry to hear didn’t work for you.
Currently the wpgetready site is under maintenance, but I suscribed to this forum to get the feedback.

I’m testing the plugin over 15 sites and the update seems to work fine on several scenarios. I would need (if possible) more information about your problem.

Are you unable to access your site after installing the plugin?
The only workaround I can think of is uninstall the plugin (without deleting the table) and re-installing.

I hope this helps, I’m going to see what happened with the emails you sent me.

403 means your IP is temporarily banned to download the Maxmind file.
This is a limitation imposed from the Maxmind central repository to avoid excessive bandwidth consumption and it is independent of Statcomm plugin.

Please try later in a few hours.

Hi colourstone,
thanks for your comment.
Do you have any plugin that could block javascript execution, like security plugin?

I’d appreciate if you provide more details on this aspect. Thank you.
