What it does
If you offer files on your site, such as software, documents or media, the core Download Monitor plugin handles serving them. Knowing how people use those files is a separate question. This extension answers it by recording each download and turning that data into readable statistics, so you can tell which files get attention and which ones sit unused without setting up a third-party analytics tool.
The stats live in your WordPress admin area, where you can review download counts, trends over time, user and source information, and daily and monthly reports. A detailed downloads table includes columns such as download ID and user email. When you need the numbers elsewhere, you can export them as CSV files for offline analysis or reporting. It fits sites that already run Download Monitor and want clearer reporting on their downloadable content.
Best for
- Sites already using the Download Monitor plugin
- Creators offering documents, media or software files
- Businesses reporting on downloadable content performance
