Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SlimStat Analytics – Real-Time Stats, Heatmaps & Ecommerce

In your own WordPress database, full stop. Core tracking makes no external calls, so your numbers never go to Google, to us, or to any third-party cloud.

Yes, if you care about ownership and timing. Your data never leaves your server, there is no sampling and no 24-hour delay, and you decide how long to keep it. You see visits the moment they happen, with the depth you'd expect from a hosted service.

Yes. SlimStat 6 adds a WooCommerce revenue dashboard with net sales, orders, period comparisons, top products and where your buyers came from, all next to your traffic reports. Switch it on in the Ecommerce page; order sync runs in small background jobs and supports HPOS. WooCommerce 8.3 or newer is required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjEofK7uSW0 SlimStat Pro adds campaigns, landing pages, devices, coupons, refunds and CSV export.

Yes. The Heatmaps page lists every page with clicks, pageviews, clicks per pageview and device split, and shows the five most clicked links and buttons on each page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Gyr_LXyuo SlimStat Pro adds full click and scroll heatmaps on phone, tablet and desktop previews, with insights on dead clicks, rage clicks and scroll drop-off.

Yes. Traffic Sources opens with Channels and UTM Campaigns side by side, and tells search, social, email, paid, AI assistants and crawlers apart. A campaign link builder sits in the report header. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dfmRJq1aGc Attribution starts with new pageviews after you update.

Yes. Visits referred from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and other assistants get their own AI Assistants channel in Traffic Sources, so you can see how much traffic they send and what those visitors read. Automated requests from AI crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot are reported separately when your tracking settings collect them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otZpOyqGkLs Google AI Overviews cannot be told apart from a normal Google search, so those visits stay in Organic Search.

It's built to stay light, and version 6 is lighter still: the tracker writes far fewer option updates per pageview and the admin charts read half as many database rows. Choose client-side tracking for cached sites or server-side to catch every request, and SlimStat plays nicely with W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Cloudflare and the rest.

Yes. IP anonymization and hashing, Do Not Track, a translatable consent banner, WP Consent API integration and scheduled data purging are all built in, no extra plugins required.

Yes. Turn off Set tracking cookie and turn on Hash IP addresses under Settings → Tracker, and SlimStat counts unique visitors with a daily one-way hash instead of a cookie. Prefer server-side tracking? Set Tracking mode to Server under Settings → General to record every visit without JavaScript (best on sites without page caching).

Yes, and we designed the update to be boring in the best way. Your settings and data carry over. The database steps only add columns and indexes, remove no rows, and run only when you click them on the new Migration screen. Older versions keep working on the updated tables if you ever go back. As with any major release, back up your database first.
