About ClickTrack Analytics
From the official readme · v1.2.0Description
ClickTrack Analytics allows you to monitor user interactions across your site without relying on third-party tracking scripts like Google Analytics. You can easily set up conditions (such as Element ID, CSS Class, Link Text, or Target URL) to track exactly what matters.
Features:
- 100% Private and Self-Hosted: Data never leaves your server.
- Flexible Tracking Rules: Track clicks by Element ID, Element Class, Link Text, or URL Contains (e.g. tracking specific external links).
- Form Submission Tracking: Built-in support for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Forms, Ninja Forms, and generic native HTML forms.
- Clean Reporting Dashboard: A modern reporting interface built directly into WordPress, with totals, top performing trackers, and a sortable/filterable detailed log.
- CSV Export: Export filtered report data to CSV for offline analysis.
- Privacy Controls: Optionally anonymize visitor IP addresses, exclude logged-in administrators from tracking, and set an automatic data retention period.
- GDPR Tooling: Integrates with WordPress’s built-in personal data export and erasure tools.
- Lightweight: Uses asynchronous JavaScript (navigator.sendBeacon) to log clicks seamlessly in the background without affecting your page load times or blocking link navigation.
- Bulk Management: Fully integrates with standard WordPress list tables for bulk deletion, sorting, and pagination.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/clicktrack-analyticsdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Navigate to ClickTrack Analytics > Settings to configure your tracking rules and privacy options.
- View your real-time reports under ClickTrack Analytics > Reports.
Frequently asked questions
Does this slow down my website?
No. The plugin uses asynchronous JavaScript and the modern Beacon API to send click data securely in the background without affecting page load times or navigation.
Can I track outbound links?
Yes! Just set the rule type to “Target URL Contains” and enter the domain you want to track (e.g., calendly.com).
Can I track form submissions?
Yes. Use the “Form ID” or “Form Class” rule types. The plugin automatically detects successful submissions from Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Forms, Ninja Forms, and standard native HTML forms.
What data does this plugin store?
For each matched click, the plugin stores the page URL, the matched rule and element details, the visitor’s IP address, user agent, and, if logged in, their user ID and the timestamp. All data stays in your own WordPress database and is never sent to a third party.
Is this plugin GDPR-friendly?
Yes. You can enable IP address anonymization, exclude administrator clicks, and set an automatic data retention period from ClickTrack Analytics > Settings. The plugin also integrates with the built-in WordPress “Export Personal Data” and “Erase Personal Data” tools under Tools.
How do I stop my own clicks from skewing the reports?
Enable “Exclude Administrators” in ClickTrack Analytics > Settings to stop logging clicks made while logged in as an administrator.
Does this work with page builders like Elementor, Divi, or Beaver Builder?
Yes. Tracking rules match on the final rendered HTML (element ID, class, link text, or URL), so they work with any theme or page builder output, not just specific plugins.
Will this work with caching plugins?
Yes. Click tracking runs entirely in JavaScript after the page loads and reports back over an asynchronous request, so full-page caching (or a CDN) has no effect on tracking accuracy.
Can I filter and export a specific date range?
Yes. The detailed report table supports quick presets (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, This Month, Last Month, This Year, Last Year) as well as a custom date range, and the same filters apply to the CSV export.
What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
Deleting the plugin (not just deactivating it) removes its database table, all stored settings, and the scheduled cleanup event. No residual data is left behind.
Is this plugin translation-ready?
Yes. All strings are wrapped for translation using the clicktrack-analytics text domain and the plugin ships a /languages folder for .mo/.po translation files.
