What it does
Many site owners rely on external analytics services that need a separate account, cookie banners and a lot of clicking around to find simple answers. This plugin keeps analytics inside WordPress instead. Tracking is cookie-free, so you can see how visitors use your site without sending them through a consent pop-up, and the reports sit in your admin area next to the content you are measuring.
The reports cover top pages, referral sources, visitor growth, bounce rate and session duration, plus breakdowns by country, device type, browser and operating system. You can filter and sort by many metrics, save the reports you check most and follow live traffic as it comes in. The Pro edition adds extra reports and advanced filtering, and it records WooCommerce orders, which makes it a fit for stores as well as blogs and business sites.
Best for
- Bloggers who want simple traffic stats inside WordPress
- WooCommerce stores tracking orders alongside visitor data
- Privacy-minded sites that prefer cookie-free analytics

Questions about Independent Analytics Pro
Do I need a Google Analytics or other external account?
No. The plugin runs inside your WordPress dashboard and stores your analytics there, so there is no third-party account to set up. You open your reports from the admin area, the same place you manage your content.
Will I need a cookie banner to use it?
The plugin tracks visitors without cookies, so you do not need a cookie pop-up for its analytics. The developer describes it as GDPR compliant, though you should still review your own site's overall privacy requirements.
Does it work with WooCommerce stores?
Yes. The Pro edition includes reporting for WooCommerce sites and records store orders, including orders paid with Pay with PayPal outside the Checkout page. It also correctly identifies the Shop page in your reports.
