About LolaCore for Statistics

From the official readme · v1.3.0

Description

WP Statistics already records every visit, source, page and referrer on your site. The problem was never the data. The problem was opening the admin screen, picking a date range, opening another screen, comparing two periods by eye, and trying to remember if last Tuesday’s spike was a real visitor or a bot sweep.

LolaCore for Statistics moves that work into a sentence inside wp-admin. You ask. Lola reads what WP Statistics already stores and tells you what it means.

Same plugin. Same data. You stopped clicking and started asking.

When something matters across domains, Lola can connect a traffic finding with what she remembers about your SEO, content, or commerce activity on the same site. Her memory lives inside your WordPress install.

This is an addon. It needs LolaCore and WP Statistics active on the same site.

For walkthroughs and example conversations, see lolacore.com/lolacore-for-statistics.

Third-party addon, not affiliated with WP Statistics

WP Statistics is developed by Verona Labs. LolaCore for Statistics is an independent addon built by LolaCore. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Verona Labs. You install WP Statistics separately from WordPress.org.

18 base abilities (+4 when WP Statistics add-ons are active)

Read what WP Statistics records

  • Site summary: visitors, views, online now, top pages, trend at a glance.
  • Traffic trend: daily visitors and views, with change against the previous period.
  • Geographic breakdown: countries, cities, regions.
  • Device breakdown: browsers, operating systems, device categories.
  • Traffic sources: referrers, search engines, social media, source categories.
  • Content performance: top pages and posts by views and visitors.
  • Page insights: one page or post in depth (bounce rate, entry/exit, referrers).
  • Category and author performance.

Surface what deserves attention

  • Find declining pages: compare two date ranges and pull out pages whose views dropped enough to matter.
  • Detect traffic anomalies: sensitive-page bursts, single-visitor site sweeps, geographic concentration, daily spikes. Each finding ships with a type, a severity and a suggested next step. Not a raw log dump.
  • Investigate visitor pattern: take a sweep finding and follow it into a journey summary with device and geographic context.

Configure WP Statistics without opening its settings screens

  • Read and update allowlisted tracking toggles (logged-in tracking, page tracking, bot filtering) with dry-run preview and confirmation.
  • Manage exclusions for IPs, URLs, countries, and user roles — the remediation step after anomaly detection.
  • Set privacy options (IP anonymization, hashing, DNT) with GDPR warnings on non-reversible changes.
  • Tracking health check: recording status, recent exclusion counts, top 404 URLs.
  • Privacy audit snapshot from WP Statistics compliance panel.

WP Statistics add-ons (registered only when active)

  • Goals performance: conversion goal completions via the Marketing add-on.
  • Campaign performance: UTM campaign visitors and views via the Marketing add-on.
  • Link tracker: outbound link clicks via the DataPlus add-on.
  • Download tracker: file download events via the DataPlus add-on.

Cross-domain context

  • Registered affinity with SEO, content and commerce domains. When a traffic drop or unusual pattern overlaps with something Lola has seen elsewhere on your site, she says so.
  • Built-in analyst skill (lolacore-statistics-analyst) so Lola routes each question to the right ability and interprets the result instead of dumping a table.

Analytics reads are safe by default. Config writes use an allowlist, always preview with a dry-run first, and require your confirmation before anything changes in WP Statistics.

Analyst companion, not a security product

Lola reads patterns and explains what she sees. She does not block visitors, ban IPs or act as a firewall. When a pattern looks like reconnaissance or a compliance probe, she describes what is happening and suggests sensible next steps you can take in WP Statistics or your existing security tools. She never claims to have stopped a threat.

Privacy

Every read runs against the WP Statistics tables on your own server. Your analytics database is not sent to LolaCore. When WP Statistics anonymizes or hashes IP addresses, visitor investigation depth is limited accordingly, and Lola says so out loud instead of pretending to know more than the data allows.

You stay in wp-admin

You chat with Lola in the LolaCore panel inside WordPress admin. You describe what you want in plain language, she picks the right read ability, and you stay in wp-admin. Your AI provider is configured once in WordPress (Settings -> Connectors, WordPress 7.0+). This addon adds no API keys and no usage quotas of its own.

Requirements

Installation

  1. Install and activate LolaCore and WP Statistics.
  2. Upload the lolacore-for-statistics folder to wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin.
  3. Activate LolaCore for Statistics from the Plugins screen.
  4. Open the Lola chat in wp-admin. The Statistics domain appears in the panel, ready to use.

No extra configuration. No API keys for this addon.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need LolaCore to use this?

Yes. This addon adds the statistics domain to LolaCore. It does not run on its own. Install and activate LolaCore first.

Do I need WP Statistics?

Yes. WP Statistics is the tracking engine. This addon lets Lola read its data through the official WP Statistics PHP API. Install and activate WP Statistics separately from WordPress.org.

Does this replace WP Statistics?

No. WP Statistics keeps tracking exactly as it does today. This addon lets Lola query and explain what WP Statistics already records. You can still open the WP Statistics admin whenever you want.

Can I see who is online right now?

Yes. Ask for a site summary or how traffic is doing right now. The response includes an online now count from the WP Statistics API — the same live visitor total WP Statistics shows in Visitor Insights. There is no separate live-visitors ability.

Is this a security tool?

No. Lola is an analyst for traffic patterns. She does not block bots, ban IPs or replace a security plugin. When she spots a pattern worth acting on, she explains it and suggests next steps you can review and approve.

Does this addon send my analytics data anywhere?

No. Every read runs inside your WordPress install through the WP Statistics PHP API. When you chat with Lola, your messages go to the AI provider you configured in WordPress itself. This addon only connects WP Statistics to LolaCore’s ability system.

What happens if I deactivate WP Statistics?

The addon shows an admin notice and stops registering its abilities until WP Statistics is active again. No fatal errors.

Changelog

Fixes visitor pattern investigation and traffic anomaly sweeps. Visitor journeys can be looked up by date range and filters, not only by visitor_id from anomaly findings.

1.3.0

  • Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
  • New: every statistics tool now ships a hand-written summary, so AI clients connected through LolaCore (Claude, Cursor, and others) pick the right tool faster and burn less context reading the catalog.
  • Improved: the addon identifies its abilities to LolaCore directly, making the connection between the addon and the AI clients more robust.
  • Improved: every ability now returns the standard LolaCore response envelope (action id, mode, message), so any AI client can audit exactly what ran — same shape as core and WooCommerce Pro.
  • Requires LolaCore 2.7.0 or newer.

1.2.2

  • Fixed investigateVisitorPattern and detectTrafficAnomalies failing with a class-not-found error when enriching visitor journeys or scanning single-visitor sweeps (correct WP Statistics Query namespace).
  • investigateVisitorPattern now resolves visitors by range and filters (country, city, platform, agent, source channel) without requiring a prior anomaly finding or visitor_id from a sweep.

1.2.1

  • Site summary always includes online_now via the WP Statistics API, matching Visitor Insights in the standard WP Statistics install.

1.2.0

  • 4 gated read abilities when WP Statistics add-ons are active: getGoalsPerformance, getCampaignPerformance (Marketing), getLinkTracker, getDownloadTracker (DataPlus).
  • Conditional registration across all three doors; ability count auto-adjusts (18 base, up to 22 with both add-ons).

1.1.0

  • 6 new abilities: getTrackingSettings, updateTrackingSettings, manageExclusions, setPrivacyOptions, getTrackingHealth, getPrivacyAudit.
  • First write abilities with allowlist enforcement, dry-run previews, and confirmation for non-reversible changes.
  • Analyst skill updated with the detect → suggest → manageExclusions remediation loop.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
  • 12 read abilities: site summary, traffic trend, geo/device/source breakdowns, content performance, page insights, category and author stats, declining pages, traffic anomalies, visitor pattern investigation.
  • Analyst skill: lolacore-statistics-analyst (addon-registered).
  • Cross-domain affinity with SEO, content, and commerce.
  • Read-only analytics: Lola reads and interprets WP Statistics data. Version 1.1.0 adds confirmed writes for allowlisted settings only.
