NB Analytics

Description

NB Analytics shows where your visitors come from, which campaigns bring them, which sources bring sales, and when your site is busiest — inside WordPress, without cookies and without sending visitor data to anyone.

It is a simple, privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics for site owners who want clear answers instead of reports: did the WhatsApp message work? Which newsletter sold? When should the next campaign go out? Activate it and the numbers start coming in — no account, no tracking code to paste and no setup.

What you get

• Sources and campaigns — Google, Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, ChatGPT and other sources by name. A UTM-tagged link from WhatsApp, a newsletter or SMS is shown as its campaign, not as “Direct”, even when the app sends no referrer.
• Sales by source — every paid WooCommerce order is credited to the source that brought the buyer in that visit (a WhatsApp or email campaign counts under its source), and the order page shows the source and the campaign. Cancelled, failed or refunded orders are removed. Works with the classic and the Blocks checkout.
• Busy Hours — a heatmap of sessions by weekday and hour, and a 15-minute view for a single day: see when visitors come, and what happened after you sent a campaign.
• Accurate sessions — a visitor coming back within 30 minutes without a new source (back to the tab, or typing the address again), a buyer returning from an external payment page (PayPal, Stripe, Z-Credit, Cardcom, Tranzila and more) and automated email link scanners are not counted as new visits.
• Works with page caching — visits are counted on pages served from a full-page cache.
• Ad click IDs — Google Ads (gclid), Meta (fbclid), Microsoft (msclkid), TikTok (ttclid) and LinkedIn (li_fat_id).
• Visitors right now — how many people opened a page in the last 5 minutes, updated every 30 seconds on the dashboard.
• Devices, countries, landing pages and page flow.
• Daily summaries — the dashboard shows the last 30 days. Before older visit details are removed, each day is summarized (counts only, nothing about individual visitors) and the summary is kept in your database.
• Full Hebrew translation and RTL support.

Privacy

• No cookies. Basic analytics stores nothing on the visitor’s device.
• IP addresses are never stored — only used to build an anonymous daily hash that changes every day.
• Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are honored by default: those visitors are not counted. Optionally (Settings) they can be counted anonymously — no identifier and nothing stored on their device. Whether that is allowed depends on where your visitors are; in the EU a court held Do Not Track to be a valid GDPR objection.
• All data stays in your own WordPress database. The plugin does not connect to any external service.
• Sales attribution keeps the source only for the visit (session storage, cleared when the tab closes), so it needs no consent.
