Most WordPress event tracking requires Google Tag Manager, custom JavaScript, or expensive third-party services. Epic Tracking gives you a visual editor to set up event tracking in seconds — no code, no external scripts, no data leaving your server. External services This plugin uses the ip-api.com geolocation service to determine visitor country based on their IP address. An HTTP request is sent to ip-api.com each time a new visitor is recorded (unless a cached result is available). The request contains only the visitor’s IP address. No other personal data is sent. Service: ip-api.com Data sent: visitor IP address When: on each new visit (results are cached for 24 hours) Terms of service: ip-api.com/docs/legal Privacy policy: ip-api.com/docs/legal

Track Everything makes event tracking simple. By default the plugin tracks form submissions, external links and emails. However, you can customize it to track nearly any common event using CSS selectors. The plugin allows users to label events or completely customize events’ Category, Action , and Label as allowed by Analytics. By using Google Analytics Event Tracking you can get a more detailed view of what users do on your site and track beyond what Google Analytics offers by default. WordPress Track Everything acts as a simple interface for jQuery Track Everything, allowing anyone to easily track events on their WordPress website.
