Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SQMViews

No! All data stays on your server. No data is sent to any third-party tracking services. You have complete control and ownership of your analytics data.

No! The plugin is optimized for performance: Fast tracking endpoint bypasses WordPress load (~5ms response time). Conventional API endpoint uses WordPress REST API (~250ms response time). Asynchronous JavaScript doesn't block page rendering. File-based storage during tracking (zero database write regarding of your traffic). Background processing via WP-Cron through batch writes into a separate table (minimal impact on the database performance and visitors). Most sites should see no noticeable performance impact.

The plugin is GDPR-friendly by default: No personal data collected (IP present in the raw log files to prevent abuse and removed from aggregated data, no cookies) No data sent to external services All data stored on your server You control data retention policies

Implementing proper consent mechanisms if required Updating your privacy policy Handling data subject access requests

Yes! Go to SQMViews → Tracking Settings and select any registered post types. The plugin automatically detects all public post types on your site, or use hook sqm_views_trackable_post_types

Yes! The JavaScript tracker should work seamlessly with most of the caching plugins and services including: WP Super Cache W3 Total Cache WP Rocket LiteSpeed Cache Cloudflare Cloudfront The tracking code runs on the client-side, so cached pages are tracked properly.

Yes! Use the sqm_views_should_track filter hook: add_filter( 'sqm_views_should_track', function( $should_track, $data ) { // Exclude logged-in administrators if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) { return false; } return $should_track; }, 10, 2 ); And adjust your CDN and caching plugins to exclude logged-in users from caching.

Storage requirements depend on traffic (YMMV): Low traffic (1,000 views/day): ~50 MB/month Medium traffic (10,000 views/day): ~500 MB/month High traffic (100,000 views/day): ~5 GB/month TBD based on actual usage Raw files are automatically archived into daily files and can be safely deleted after processing. We recommend storing archived files in a cold storage in case you want to replay the processing and aggregation, to remove bot traffic or extend data with more information.

Planned functionality.

Time on Page: Total time from page load to exit (includes idle time) Active Time: Time when user is actively engaging (scrolling, clicking, typing), checked every 10s. Active time gives you better insight into actual engagement vs. just having a tab open.
