in plain english

WP VisitChart is a WordPress plugin that gives a site owner live visitor analytics without sending any data to an outside company. It runs entirely on the same server as the WordPress site, inspired by paid services like Chartbeat but self hosted, so nobody else ever sees the traffic numbers. Once activated, it shows a live count of current visitors that refreshes every ten seconds, along with a graph of today's traffic broken into five minute chunks, shown next to the same weekday from the previous week for comparison. Articles that are gaining readers quickly get a trending badge, and traffic is broken down by where it came from, such as direct visits, search engines, social media, or other sources, using UTM parameters and Facebook's click identifier to help sort it. Visits are also split by device type between mobile, tablet, and desktop, and the plugin tries to detect and filter out bot traffic so the numbers reflect real people. Inside the normal WordPress admin area, the plugin adds a live pageview count next to each post and page in the list, updating in real time rather than waiting for a scheduled job, and it puts a live visitor count directly in the WordPress admin toolbar so it is visible while doing other tasks. There is also a simple mobile page that can be bookmarked and opened with a token based login, useful for checking traffic quickly from a phone. Every major feature can be turned on or off from a settings screen, including an option to stop tracking visits from logged in users, and the plugin ships with both English and Danish translations. It needs WordPress 5.8 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer, and a reasonably current version of MySQL or MariaDB. Installing it follows the normal WordPress plugin process of uploading a zip file through the admin area and activating it. The project is released into the public domain under the Unlicense, meaning anyone can use, modify, or redistribute it without restriction.
