Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Independent Analytics – WordPress Analytics Plugin
No, Independent Analytics is an alternative to Google Analytics. You do not need a Google account to use it.
Yes, you can run both Independent Analytics and Google Analytics on your site at the same time without any issues or errors.
No, it is not possible to import stats from Google Analytics, Jetpack Stats, or 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, store personal data, or communicate with external servers so a cookie consent banner is not required.
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 Wordfence plugin to add a firewall that will block these bots from accessing your website.
No, you don't have to add the tracking script 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.
