Statnive – Privacy-first Analytics + Revenue Reports for WooCommerce

Description

The privacy-first analytics plugin for WordPress, with an Ask me! tab that turns your top questions into one-click answers.

See exactly who visits your site, where they come from, what they do, and on WooCommerce stores how that converts into revenue. No cookies, no third-party trackers, no visitor data sent anywhere. All analytics and revenue data live in your own WordPress database.

Just ask. No reports to dig through.

Most analytics dashboards make you learn the tool before you can answer a question. Statnive’s Ask me! tab flips that around. Pin your 5 favourite questions and the answers fill in the moment the page loads. Browse 10 category tabs (Traffic, Pages, Referrers, Geography, Devices, Real-time, Engagement, Revenue, Events, Campaigns) and click any question to expand the live answer with the same date range you set everywhere else.

Owners typically open Statnive to ask:

  • How much traffic this week?
  • Where is my traffic coming from?
  • Which pages get the most views?
  • What countries are my visitors from?
  • Is my traffic mobile or desktop?
  • How many people are on my site right now?
  • What’s my best landing page?
  • How much organic search traffic?
  • Did my campaign work?
  • Is my tracking working?

Every answer is computed locally from your WordPress database. No AI, no LLM, no third-party API, no question ever leaves your server. The same SQL that powers the dedicated reports answers the Ask me! cards, so the numbers always match what the reports show.

Open source under GPLv2. Self-hosted in your own database — nothing ever leaves your server.

Install, activate, open Statnive — your dashboard fills up within minutes. No tracking code to paste, no account to create. If WooCommerce is active, existing orders are auto-imported in the background so the Revenue Report fills in within minutes.

FAQ

What is the Ask me! tab?

Ask me! is a question-first dashboard. Instead of learning which report answers which question, you pick a question in plain language and Statnive shows the answer inline with the same date range you set everywhere else. It ships with 120 questions across 10 categories (Traffic, Real-time, Pages, Referrers, Campaigns, Geography, Devices, Engagement, Revenue, Events) and lets you pin your favourite 10 to the home tab so the answers load the moment you open Statnive.

Common starter questions include How much traffic this week?, Where is my traffic coming from?, Which pages get the most views?, What countries are my visitors from?, Is my traffic mobile or desktop?, How many people are on my site right now?, Is my tracking working?

Does Ask me! send my questions to an AI or any external service?

No. The 120 questions are pre-built and live entirely inside the plugin. Each question maps to a SQL query that runs locally against your WordPress database, exactly the same SQL the dedicated reports use. There is no AI, no LLM, no chat API, and nothing about your traffic ever leaves your server.

Does Statnive use cookies?

No. Statnive is 100% cookie-free. Visitor identification is a daily-rotating salted hash that cannot be used to track individuals across days or sites.

Is Statnive GDPR compliant?

Statnive is designed to support GDPR, CCPA, APPI, and PIPL compliance: no cookies, no PII storage, daily rotating hashes, configurable retention, WordPress Privacy API export/erase, and server-side respect for GPC and DNT signals. Final compliance always depends on your configuration and your privacy policy.

How does visitor counting work without cookies?

A salted SHA-256 hash of the visitor’s anonymized IP plus User-Agent. The salt rotates daily, so the same visitor gets a different hash tomorrow — cross-day stitching is impossible while daily uniques stay accurate.

Where is my data stored?

In your WordPress database, in tables prefixed statnive_. Nothing leaves your server unless you explicitly enable the optional MaxMind or DB-IP GeoIP downloads (one-time database files, never visitor data). When you uninstall the plugin, all tables and uploaded GeoIP files are removed.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes — Statnive ships a full WooCommerce Revenue Report. Net revenue, orders, AOV, refund rate, revenue by channel (UTM + referrer + AI assistants), top products, and the cart checkout purchase funnel — all inside WordPress, on the Statnive Revenue Report page. The Revenue Report is read-only against WooCommerce (the Recorder only ever calls $order->get_*() getters; it never writes to a WooCommerce table or order meta) and is compatible with HPOS and Block Checkout.

If you install Statnive on a store that already has orders, the historical data is imported automatically in the background via Action Scheduler. No CLI required, but wp statnive wc-backfill is available if you prefer to drive it manually.

How much does it slow down my site?

The tracker script is small (~2 KB gzipped) and loads asynchronously, so it does not block your page render. The hit endpoint writes a single row per pageview. Dashboard queries run against pre-aggregated daily summaries rather than raw events.

Can I run Statnive alongside Google Analytics or Matomo?

Yes. Statnive is fully independent. Many users run Statnive as their primary privacy-friendly analytics and keep GA4 for advertising attribution.

What can cause “no data”?

Common causes: ad blockers, aggressive page caching, CSP rules blocking fetch/sendBeacon (allow connect-src 'self'), GPC or DNT enabled, or DISABLE_WP_CRON without a system cron. Exclude /wp-json/statnive/v1/hit and admin-ajax.php?action=statnive_hit from page caches.

How does Geography work?

Four tiers, falling through automatically: (1) browser timezone country, ~80% accurate, no external call; (2) CDN country headers (Cloudflare, CloudFront, Vercel) when present; (3) optional one-click DB-IP IP-to-City Lite (free, CC-BY 4.0); (4) optional MaxMind GeoLite2 (free with an account). Tiers 3 and 4 are opt-in via a discrete user click.

Does Statnive count bots as real visitors?

No. ~200 server-side bot UA patterns and tracker-side fingerprints (webdriver, automation flags) bucket bots separately, so “Visitors” and “Pageviews” reflect humans only.
