Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics”, “statistics” and “stats” for “behavior”, “visitor statistics” and “referrer”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “behavior” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “statistics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “visitor statistics” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stats” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “referrer” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 2.8M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “analytics”, “statistics” and “stats” for “behavior”, “visitor statistics” and “referrer”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “behavior” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “statistics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “visitor statistics” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stats” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “referrer” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Das Plugin ist datenschutzkonform, ganz einfach zu konfigurieren und läuft unauffällig nebenbei. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Arne Midtlund10mo ago
Statify is a solid, privacy-friendly analytics solution that does exactly what it promises: simple, no-nonsense page view tracking without cookies or external services. I really appreciate how transparent and lightweight it is—perfect if you care about GDPR compliance, performance, and clean code. The stats are easy to read and reliable for understanding overall traffic trends and content spikes. If you need more detail, Statify can be extended with additional plugins to expose more data and views, which is a nice option. Personally, I value the core plugin’s simplicity and minimal footprint more than advanced analytics. Statify is clearly designed for quick insights rather than deep analysis. Things like filtering out your own visits, interpreting historical gaps, or analyzing long-term patterns require some manual reasoning and context. Overall, Statify shines as a “set it and trust it” plugin. If you want calm, honest numbers, extensibility when needed, and a truly lightweight analytics setup, it’s a very good choice, just don’t expect enterprise-level features.

Thank you for your great plugin. Very useful, light and informative plugin. BONUS — respects users privacy!

A simple stats package that runs on your own site, so you aren’t sending visitor data to some third party service just to count page views. Not as full-featured as Jetpack Stats, but much more privacy-friendly! Good for the basic use case of “where are most of my visitors coming from and what are the reading the most?” Works with ClassicPress too!

Simple an clean statistic plugin. Just works.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ winterfjell3.2y ago
Of course there is some information in the big solutions like Analytics or Jetpack that I got used to, but to be honest: I don’t need it anymore and do not miss it. I filter out referrer spam for values that are as real as possible and actually I just want to see when which page in the blog performs and how. And Statify together with Statify – Extended Evaluation is enough for that. Since I myself attach great importance to personal-data-sensible surfing on the Internet, I want to enable my visitors to do the same. I feel much more comfortable now and would like to say THANK YOU after 4 years of use.

Hab dieses Plugin bei allen meinen Kunden-Websites laufen. Ich liebe das Widget im Dashboard, weil es einen schnellen Überblick über aktuelle Zugriffszahlen vermittelt. Dazu noch DSGVO-konform. Und ganz wichtig: ein fantastischer, blitzschneller, sehr interessierter Support! This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by blacckmamba.
