## Descrição

**Know who visits your site, without cookies, without a consent banner and without
leaving WordPress.**

GhostStat measures your visitors without cookies, without local storage and without
fingerprinting, so it needs no consent banner. This plugin connects your WordPress
site to your GhostStat account and puts your numbers where you already work: on 
your WordPress dashboard.

#### Set up in a minute

Paste your GhostStat site key under Settings  GhostStat and save. That’s it: every
page is measured. You can also paste the whole GhostStat snippet; the plugin takes
the key out of it. The tracker is loaded with `defer`, so it never holds up your
page.

#### New in 1.1: why visitors buy, and why they leave

GhostStat reads behaviour, not cookies, and scores every visit. With your API key,
Dashboard  GhostStat now shows:

 * **Intent, frustration and attention**: three scores out of 100, with the change
   against the period before
 * **The three scores over time**, in one chart
 * **Who your visitors were**: casual browsers, skimmers, researchers, high-intent
   buyers and more
 * **Where they were in their journey**: exploring, evaluating, comparing or ready
   to act
 * **Pages where visitors struggle most**, each with a link to see why in GhostStat

#### New in 1.1: software tracking

Optional. Add a report key and this site tells GhostStat which WordPress version,
PHP version, themes and plugins it runs, plus every install, update, activation 
and removal. GhostStat draws those changes on your traffic, so you see what changed
right before visits dropped. Reporting fatal PHP errors, with the plugin or theme
they came from, is a separate opt-in.

#### Your statistics, inside WordPress

Add an optional read-only API key and you get a full statistics page under **Dashboard
GhostStat**:

 * **Visitors, visits, pageviews, average visit and bounce rate** at a glance
 * **Online now**: how many people are on your site right now
 * **Visitors over time**: a clear chart of visitors and pageviews
 * **Top pages, top sources and countries**: what people read and where they come
   from
 * **Devices and browsers**: phone, desktop or tablet; Chrome, Safari, Firefox and
   more
 * **7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 12 months**: switch with one click

And a **dashboard widget** with the last 7 days (visitors, pageviews, bounce rate,
a trend line and your top pages), the first thing you see when you sign in.

#### Only real visitors

Choose which signed-in roles are not measured. Administrators are left out by default,
so your own clicks while editing don’t fill up your numbers.

#### Built to stay out of your way

 * **Fast:** one small tracker script, loaded deferred. In wp-admin, reports are
   cached for five minutes.
 * **Self-contained:** charts are drawn by the plugin itself; no chart library or
   other code is loaded from elsewhere in wp-admin.
 * **Works with page caching:** the tracker tag is the same for every visitor.
 * **Safe keys:** the API key is read-only, stays on your server and is never sent
   to a browser.
 * **Check now:** one button tells you whether GhostStat knows your site key and
   whether your API key works.
 * **Translation-ready.**

#### Want to go deeper?

The plugin shows the essentials. The GhostStat app adds the full reports: heatmaps,
session recordings, funnels, visitor journeys, software changes on your traffic 
and the GhostStat Guardian app for your phone. Every “See why in GhostStat” link
opens the matching report for this site.

A GhostStat account is needed. There is a free plan and no card is needed to start:
[ghoststat.me](https://ghoststat.me/).

### External services

This plugin relies on GhostStat (https://ghoststat.me/), a web analytics service
run by GhostStat. It talks to the service in two ways:

 1. **The tracker (on your public pages).** Once you have saved a site key, every page
    of your site loads the GhostStat tracker script from `https://cdn.ghoststat.me/
    gs.js`. Your visitors’ browsers then send GhostStat the address and title of the
    page viewed, the referring page, UTM campaign parameters, screen size and pixel
    ratio, language, browser and operating system details (including browser client
    hints where the browser offers them), and a few device capabilities such as touch
    support and dark mode, to `https://api.ghoststat.me`. Plugins you switch on in 
    your GhostStat account (for example heatmaps or session recordings) load their 
    own scripts from `https://cdn.ghoststat.me` and send what that feature measures.
    GhostStat sets no cookies, stores nothing in the visitor’s browser and does not
    fingerprint. The tracker’s script tag also carries this plugin’s version (for example`
    data-via="wordpress/1.1.2"`), which the browser passes on once per page load, so
    GhostStat knows the site uses this plugin. Signed-in users whose role you exclude
    are not measured, and nothing is loaded until a site key is saved.
 2. **Your statistics (in wp-admin only).** If you save an API key, your WordPress 
    server asks `https://api.ghoststat.me/stats/…` for this site’s reports when someone
    opens Dashboard  GhostStat or the dashboard widget, and when you press “Check now”
    in the settings. These requests send the site key and the API key; answers are 
    cached for five minutes. “Check now” also asks `https://api.ghoststat.me/collect/
    config` whether the site key exists. Like every request WordPress makes, these 
    carry WordPress’s standard User-Agent (the WordPress version and the site address).
 3. **Software reports (only if you save a report key).** Your WordPress server sends`
    https://api.ghoststat.me/collect/software` the WordPress version, the PHP version,
    and for each installed plugin and theme its folder name, name, version, author,
    whether it is active and whether an update is available. It also sends each install,
    update, activation, deactivation and removal, with the old and new version and 
    whether a person, an automatic update or WP-CLI did it. This happens once a day
    through WP-Cron, about a minute after a change, and when you press “Check now”.
    Only if you also switch on error reporting: fatal PHP errors, with the error type,
    the first line of the message, the file path relative to WordPress and the line
    number. Nothing about your visitors or your users is sent. Remove the report key
    to stop all software reports.

## Perguntas frequentes

### Do I need a cookie banner for GhostStat?

GhostStat sets no cookies and stores nothing on the visitor’s device, so it does
not need cookie consent. Check your own legal situation if you are unsure.

### Is GhostStat free?

There is a free plan, and no card is needed to start. See https://ghoststat.me/pricing
for what each plan includes.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. The tracker is one small script, loaded with `defer`, so your page shows first.
The plugin adds nothing else to your public pages.

### Will my own visits be counted?

Not while you are signed in as a role you excluded. Administrators are excluded 
by default; change this under Settings  GhostStat.

### Is the API key safe to store here?

It is read-only: it can read this one site’s reports and nothing else. It cannot
change settings or sign in to GhostStat. It is kept in your WordPress database and
only used server-side. You can revoke it at any time in the GhostStat app.

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The tracker tag is the same for every visitor, so cached pages measure correctly.
After saving the site key, clear your page cache once.

### What are intent, frustration and attention?

Three scores out of 100 that GhostStat works out for every visit from behaviour,
without cookies. Intent: how much visitors want what you offer. Frustration: how
hard your site made it (lower is better). Attention: how much of your pages people
really read.

### What does software tracking send?

Only names and versions of WordPress, PHP, your plugins and themes, and when they
change. Fatal PHP errors only if you switch that on. See “External services” for
the full list. Nothing about visitors or users.

### Where are heatmaps, funnels and session recordings?

Those are in the GhostStat app. Press **Open GhostStat** on the statistics page.
