EDD Metrics
Get the important metrics for your business, such as average revenue per customer, renewal rate, refund rate, and more. Support EDD Software Licensing add-on for renewal rates, and EDD Recurring Payments for subscription information. Included metrics: Net Revenue (Properly subtracts refunds) Sales Average revenue per customer Estimated monthly revenue Refunds Discounts Renewals, and renewal rate (if EDD Software Licensing is active) Subscriptions (if EDD Recurring Payments is active) Recurring revenue this period and next 30 days Earnings by download Earnings by gateway New customers Charts are displayed on the detail page along with other metrics. To contribute or report an issue, please use the EDD Metrics Github This plugin is inspired by (and basically a total copy of) Baremetrics. I would have just used Baremetrics instead of building a new plugin, except that Baremetrics is very specific to SaaS businesses, and doesn’t really work for EDD.
VisitStats
VisitStats is a lightweight, privacy-first analytics plugin for WordPress. All your data stays in your own WordPress database — we never see it, no third party sees it. Why VisitStats? No cookies, no consent banner needed. Tracking is GDPR-friendly by default. Self-hosted. All data lives in your WordPress database. No external service, no Automattic, no Google. Lightweight. Frontend tracker is under 2KB. Loads asynchronously. Won’t slow your site. Zero setup. Install, activate, done. No theme edits, no tag manager, no JS snippets. Built for WordPress. Reports appear inside your WordPress dashboard — no separate app to log into. Recommended for sites with up to ~10,000 daily pageviews (around 95% of WordPress sites). For very high-traffic sites, consider dedicated analytics services. What you get (all free, all the time): Real-time visitor count — see who’s on your site right now Pageviews, unique visitors, sessions Top pages Top traffic sources (direct, search, social, AI, referral) Top referrers — actual URLs sending you traffic Device breakdown (desktop, mobile, tablet) Browser & operating system detection Configurable data retention from 1 day up to 1 year Date range views: today, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year Engagement signals (scroll depth, time on page) Cookieless visitor identification using daily-rotating salt + SHA-256 hashing Bot filtering with built-in bot signature detection Optional administrator / logged-in user exclusion Honors Do Not Track browser signal Automatic data pruning to keep your database lean Rate-limited tracking endpoint protects against abuse IP anonymization before hashing — actual IPs never stored Privacy by design VisitStats never: Sets cookies Stores IP addresses Sends data to third parties Fingerprints visitors Tracks across days Visitor identification uses a daily-rotating salt hashed with the (anonymized) IP and User Agent to count unique visits within a 24-hour window. The salt regenerates every 24 hours, making cross-day tracking impossible. This is the same approach used by Plausible Analytics and Fathom Analytics. For developers Clean REST API at /wp-json/visitstats/v1/ Filter hooks for customizing behavior (rate limiting, bot detection, etc.) PSR-style class organization No external dependencies — pure WordPress core
