Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Independent Analytics – Google Analytics Alternative for WordPress
No, Independent Analytics is an alternative to Google Analytics.
Yes, you can run them both simultaneously without any issues or errors.
No, it is not possible to import stats from other analytics tools at this time.
No, the tracking script makes a deferred request to your site's REST API to record the visit. This has no impact on the loading experience, and does not impact your Core Web Vitals, allowing you to achieve a perfect 100/100 Page Speed Insights score.
Yes, the moment you install Independent Analytics it will start tracking views. If you don't see any views right away, clear your site's cache and then visit your site in a private browser tab to record your first view.
No, Independent Analytics does not use cookies.
Independent Analytics will store roughly 200-300MB per million sessions. We find this amount of data to be reasonable for the vast majority of websites. There is also an option to automatically delete old data, so you can store only the last 1-5 years of analytics.
Independent Analytics ignores all self-identifying bots, such as search engine crawlers and uptime checkers. If you are getting visits from malicious bots that disguise themselves as human visitors, we recommend using Cloudflare or the Shield Security plugin to block these bots from accessing your website.
Yes, but you don't have to add it yourself. It gets included on all of your site's pages automatically once Independent Analytics is activated.
Yes, Independent Analytics works well with multisite installs. Each sub-site will get its own Analytics menu with its own stats.
