MH User Activity Monitor for WordPress Plugin Directory

MH User Activity Monitor shows in real time which users, visitors, WooCommerce customers and bots are currently active on your WordPress website. The plugin helps administrators identify unusual activity, cart sessions, bot traffic and suspicious requests more quickly, with privacy options such as IP anonymization, data-saving mode and automatic cleanup.

Live monitoring for WordPress websites MH User Activity Monitor displays active sessions directly in the WordPress admin area. Administrators can see which visitors are currently online, whether logged-in users are active, which page types are being viewed and when the last activity occurred.

The overview uses dashboard cards, filters, sorting and live refresh. This makes it easier to distinguish normal visitor activity from unusual access patterns.

Administrators can also export the currently filtered session overview as a CSV file for short-term support or security review workflows.

Keep an eye on WooCommerce carts When WooCommerce is active, the plugin can display active cart sessions. Depending on the selected setting, it stores and displays only the item count, item count and cart total, or detailed product information.

This can help shop owners see whether customers currently have products in their cart, whether carts are abandoned or whether unusual sessions appear in the checkout area.

Detect bots and suspicious requests The plugin detects known bots, crawlers, SEO tools, AI crawlers, social media preview bots and suspicious request patterns. Examples include requests to login areas, XML-RPC, .env files, .git directories or other typical scanner targets.

The bot and risk indicators are not a firewall and do not replace a dedicated security plugin. They help make suspicious technical traffic more visible and easier to classify.

Privacy-friendly settings Because the plugin processes technical visitor data, it includes several privacy options. New installations use anonymized IP addresses by default. Additional privacy modes such as None, Standard, Data-saving and Strict are available.

Stored URLs and referrers are saved without query parameters so sensitive values such as tokens, email addresses, search terms or tracking parameters are not stored unnecessarily. User-agent, URL and referrer values are also length-limited to reduce the amount of stored data.

Additional options include automatic cleanup via WordPress-Cron, ignored IP rules, CIDR support, WooCommerce cart modes and the ability to disable the frontend ping completely.

Who is this plugin for? The plugin is suitable for operators of WordPress websites, WooCommerce shops, membership areas, booking sites and editorial websites who want a short-term view of what is happening on their website right now.

Typical use cases include:

Shop owners want to monitor active carts and checkout sessions.

Administrators want to identify unusual bot traffic or scanners more quickly.

Website operators want to see which pages are currently being visited.

Support teams want to understand short-term technical visitor activity.

Operators of smaller websites want a simple live overview without external tracking services.

The plugin is intended for short-term technical monitoring. Site operators should check which data they really need, how long it is stored and whether information must be added to their privacy policy.
