Burst Statistics – Privacy-Friendly WordPress Analytics (Google Analytics Alternative)

Açıklama

Finally, analytics that you’ll actually use.

Google Analytics is overkill. Other WordPress statistics plugins are cluttered and confusing. You just want to know what’s happening on your site – without a data science degree.

Burst Statistics gives you a clean, intuitive analytics dashboard focused on the metrics that actually matter. No external accounts. No complex setup. Install, activate, and understand your traffic in seconds.

Trusted by 200,000+ WordPress sites. Built by the experienced team behind UpdraftPlus, WP-Optimize, and All-In-One Security.

Why Burst Statistics?

Designed to be actionable
Other analytics plugins throw everything at you. Burst shows what matters — visitors, pageviews, referrers, top pages — in a dashboard you’ll actually use. No overload of data. No confusing menus.

Privacy-first by design
All statistics stay on your server. No external tracking. Your data is yours – we never see it without your explicit permission.

Zero setup friction
Install, activate, done. No Google accounts, no tracking codes, no configuration headaches. Start seeing live visitors immediately.

Built for WordPress
Not a port from another platform. Designed specifically for WordPress with native performance and seamless integration.

Fast and lightweight
Optimized database queries, no bloated scripts (<4kb tracking script), no external dependencies slowing down your pages. Designed to track accurately even when using aggressive server-side caching.

Privacy and Data Sharing

Burst Statistics includes an optional data sharing program. It is disabled by default. You can enable it under Burst Statistics → Settings → Data Sharing, and you can turn it off again at any time from the same location.
When enabled, the plugin sends a small set of aggregated, anonymized metrics to Burst Statistics’ servers once per month. This includes traffic statistics (visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, session duration), database row counts and query performance timings. No personal data, IP addresses, domain names, or visitor information is ever transmitted. All data is aggregated on your server before it leaves, making it impossible to trace back to your website or any individual user.

We use this data to:
* build anonymous industry benchmarks so you can compare your site’s performance against peers;
* understand which features are most used, so we can prioritize development effectively;
* know which WordPress and PHP versions are in active use, so we can make informed support decisions;
* identify slow database queries across real-world installs, so we can improve plugin performance for everyone.

For the complete list of data fields collected and full details on how the data is used, please read our Data Sharing Policy.
