    Description

    WP Smart Analytics is a WordPress plugin designed to provide valuable insights into visitor analytics and enhance security for WordPress websites. By using encrypted text files for logs and a database for statistics, this plugin ensures that data is stored locally, offering the option to anonymize IPs for increased privacy.

    The plugin offers visitor analytics and security features accessible directly from the WordPress dashboard. The tag cloud feature categorizes visitors as administrators, visitors, or bots, providing valuable information for lead analytics and security maintenance.

    WP Smart Analytics displays statistics based on Page Type, Page Title, Visitor Country, Platform, Browser, and Source, allowing users to gain a comprehensive understanding of their website traffic.

    With support for different user roles and a shortcode [wpsa_log] to display visitor logs, the plugin emphasizes the importance of keeping sensitive information hidden from the public.

    It is essential to ensure plugin’s compliance with statutory regulations before using the WP Smart Analytics plugin.

    1. Upload the wp-smart-analytics folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
    2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
    3. Upon activation, the wp-smart-analytics directory is created in /wp-content/uploads/ to securely store encrypted logs and metadata.
    4. Ensure that all files and directories are secured from unauthorized access to protect sensitive data.
