About TrucePulse Analytics

From the official readme · v1.0.0

Description

TrucePulse Analytics is a lightweight, privacy-first analytics platform that lives entirely inside your WordPress dashboard. No external services, no cookies, no account required — your visitor data never leaves your server.

Unlike standard statistics dashboards, TrucePulse shows you why visitors convert or drop off, not just how many arrived:

  • Form conversion analytics — see views, starts, completions, abandonment rate and validation errors for every form (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable and custom HTML forms).
  • Click analytics — every internal link, button, CTA, download, outbound, email and phone click, ranked with click share.
  • Conversion funnels — build multi-step funnels (Homepage → Pricing → Signup → Purchase) and see exactly where visitors abandon.

Website analytics

  • Unique, new and returning visitors, sessions and pageviews
  • Bounce rate, engagement rate, session duration, pages per session
  • Landing pages, exit pages, scroll depth
  • Traffic sources: direct, organic, social, email, referral, campaigns and full UTM tracking
  • Countries, devices, operating systems, browsers, languages
  • Internal site search queries with result counts
  • WooCommerce order, refund and product-view events

Real-time dashboard

  • Visitors online right now, live pages and countries
  • Auto-refreshing dashboard (5s–60s, no page reload)
  • Date filters: today, yesterday, 7/30/90 days, this month, previous month, last year, custom range
  • One-click CSV and JSON exports

Privacy-first by design

  • Cookie-free: visits are identified with a salted hash that rotates every 24 hours — no cookies, no localStorage, no persistent identifiers
  • IP anonymization is always on: raw IP addresses are truncated and never stored
  • Respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
  • Configurable data retention with automatic cleanup
  • GDPR & CCPA friendly; all data stays in your own database

Fast by design

  • Frontend tracker is under 7 KB, defer-loaded, and never blocks rendering
  • Events are batched client-side and written with single multi-row inserts
  • Indexed custom tables, daily rollup aggregation and object-cache support keep dashboards fast from 100 to 100,000+ visitors/day

TrucePulse Pro

Need more? TrucePulse Pro adds heatmaps, session replay, advanced WooCommerce revenue reports, scheduled PDF/email reports and priority support — with a free trial.

Developer friendly

  • Documented REST API (/wp-json/trucepulse/v1/...)
  • JavaScript API: trucepulse('event_name', 'target', 'label', value)
  • WP-CLI: wp trucepulse analytics, wp trucepulse export, wp trucepulse cleanup, wp trucepulse aggregate
  • Actions & filters for tracking control, custom capabilities and GeoIP integration

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/trucepulse-analytics/, or install it from Plugins → Add New.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
  3. Open TrucePulse → Dashboard. Tracking starts immediately — no account or configuration required.
  4. Review TrucePulse → Settings to adjust privacy, retention and tracking options.

Frequently asked questions

Does TrucePulse use cookies?

No. In its default cookie-free mode, visits are recognized using a salted hash derived from an anonymized IP and user agent. The salt rotates daily and is then discarded, so visitors cannot be tracked across days or identified.

Is any data sent to external services?

No. All analytics data is stored in your own WordPress database. The plugin makes no external requests.

Will it slow my site down?

No. The tracker is a single sub-7 KB deferred script. Data is sent asynchronously with sendBeacon/fetch(keepalive) after the page has rendered.

Do I need a consent banner?

TrucePulse is designed to be usable without consent in many jurisdictions because it stores no cookies and no personal data. However, legal requirements vary — please consult your own legal advisor.

Which form plugins are supported?

Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms — plus generic tracking for Elementor, WS Form and any custom HTML on the page.

Can I exclude administrators from tracking?

Yes — administrators are excluded by default, and you can exclude any role under Settings.
