QA Assistants – Driven by data vs Simple Analytics

QA Assistants goes beyond analytics — it’s a companion that helps your data speak, with Assistants that reveal insights you can act on. Each Assistant offers a unique way to look at your site — from quick overviews to social trends and growth insights. You can still explore familiar tools like heatmaps, session replays, and reports — and Assistants will gradually bring more context to them. No complex setup or technical skills needed. QA Assistants makes discovering your site’s stories simple, visual, and a little fun too. Features Assistants — your data-driven companions to explore your site Assistants help you understand your site through data — in a clear and easy-to-understand way. Each Assistant focuses on a different perspective, such as traffic trends, content performance, or user behavior. More Assistants will continue to be added over time, expanding what you can explore and understand. In-dashboard Assistants Assistants can be downloaded from the official site and appear in the plugin dashboard. They provide deeper insights and reports based on accumulated data. On-page Assistant The built-in Page Analysis Assistant appears directly on your site pages. While browsing, you can quickly check pageviews, key metrics, and device-specific heatmaps — a lightweight assistant for logged-in admins. Heatmaps & Session Replays — see how visitors behave Visualize how people interact with your site: where they click, scroll, and pause. Session Replays let you follow their real journeys, helping you discover friction points and hidden opportunities. Reports & Trends — your site at a glance Access clear, intuitive charts and summaries that show what’s working and where to improve. Switch to Advanced Mode to unlock detailed metrics and comparison tools. Cookie-less Tracking — privacy made simple Track user behavior responsibly. QA Assistants includes a cookie-less tracking mode, so you can comply with privacy rules without losing insight. Built for WordPress — light, secure, and extendable Designed to blend seamlessly with your dashboard. QA Assistants follows WordPress coding standards, loads only what’s needed, and supports modular extensions for future Assistants. All of these features are completely free — just install and start exploring. Important Notes QA Assistants collects data in real time, but analytical reports are processed overnight. You can see live visit counts immediately, while detailed insights (used by Assistants) become available the following day. Please do not compress or minify JavaScript used by QA Assistants or WordPress. Some optimization plugins may interfere with tracking; exclude QA Assistants–related scripts if needed. Make sure your PHP memory limit is sufficient for data processing. If your server uses a very low limit (for example, 256 MB or less), some processes may fail. For detailed technical guidance or troubleshooting steps, please see the Documentation.
