Turn on Analytics

Native AI Analytics counts visits in your own WordPress database — no external service, no cookies by default. Switch it on, and check it’s counting.

Analytics is an optional feature, off until you switch it on.

  1. Switch it onGo to Native AI → Settings → Features and switch on Analytics.
  2. Visit your sitePublic pages now load a small tracker (5.8 KB, deferred so it never slows the page).
  3. Open the reportsNative AI → Analytics appears in the menu.

Who isn’t counted#

  • Administrators, by default — or everyone who’s signed in, or chosen roles. Set it in Analytics Settings → General → Who isn’t counted.
  • IP addresses and ranges you list.
  • Bots, crawlers, monitors, link previews, AI crawlers and automated browsers (as far as they can be recognized).
  • Always: the builder, previews, draft sites, and popup and snippet tests.
  • Visitors whose browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control (respected by default).

Check that it’s counting#

Because administrators aren’t counted, visiting your own site while signed in shows nothing. To check:

  • Test this browser (Analytics → Settings → Advanced) marks your browser as a test browser: its visits show in Debug, and are never counted.
  • Debug (administrators) lists the last 60 requests the tracker sent, whether each was counted or rejected, and why.
  • Health checks the tracking script, the endpoint, the tables, the tracker on the home page, the last event received, report updates and scheduled tasks, storage and retention.
  • Or open the site in a private window where you’re not signed in, and look at Real time.

Switching it off#

Switching Analytics off stops everything — no tracker, no endpoint, no scheduled work, no screens, and the AI can’t read it — but deletes nothing. Switch it on again and all your history is back. Deleting the data is a separate, deliberate step: see Analytics privacy, consent and data.
