Requirements Contact Form 7 version 4.3 or later for features related to submission tracking and redirects. Usage The plugin adds a new “Controls” tab for each Contact Form 7 form in the WordPress administration area. Form Submission Storage Setup the official companion plugin Storage for Contact Form 7 plugin for capturing the form submissions safely in the WordPres database. Alternatively, there is also a basic integration with the TablePress plugin. Select the TablePress table where to store the form submissions. The plugin will add any missing columns for each form field, and append the form entries as rows to the table. Additionally, fields cf7_time (submission time as ISO 8601) and cf7_url (URL where the form was submitted) are stored along with the form data. Analytics Tracking The plugin automatically triggers analytics events for the following services: Google Analytics (GA4) using Google Tag Manager and Global Tag (gtag.js) with ga(), _gaq.push() and dataLayer.push() implementations, Matomo (formerly Piwik), Facebook Pixel Conversion Tracking. It passes the following data with the event: “Contact Form” as the event category, “Submit”, “Sent”, “Error” or “Spam” as the event action, and the form title as the event title. Facebook Pixel The standard Contact event is used for Facebook Pixel with content_category property set to the event type (Submit, Sent, Error, Spam) and content_name set to the form title.

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
