Traffic
A built-in visit counter with no third-party scripts: how many people came, what they looked at and where they came from. It stores no addresses or names — a visitor is recognised only within a single day.
Features
- Counts page views and unique people per day, with signed-in users and guests counted separately.
- “On the site now” — people over the last 15 minutes, guests included. Two tiles on the admin overview: “On the site now” and “Visitors today”.
- A page in the admin panel: today, yesterday, this week, all time; daily bars for 7, 30 or 90 days; “What was read” with page titles and “Where they came from” by site name.
- Bots are counted as a separate number and are not added to people.
- Only pages opened by a person are counted; the admin panel, service addresses, feeds, the API and files are left out.
- Counting happens after the page has been served, so it does not slow the page down.
Configuration
Admin panel → Settings → Visit settings:- How many days of detail to keep — from 7 to 3650, 180 by default. The daily summary is kept ten times longer.
- Count bots — as a separate number. On by default.
- Do not count your own visits — visits by anyone with admin panel access are ignored. On by default.
Permissions
- See visits — granted on installation to editors and administrators.
On the site
The module has no pages of its own on the site. The statistics are available only in the admin panel, in the “Visits” section of the “Promotion” group.Installation and removal
Installation creates five tables: the daily summary (visit_days), pages (visit_pages), sources (visit_sources), daily markers (visit_seen) and “on the site now” (visit_now). Removing the module with data deletes all five tables along with all collected statistics.Left out on purpose
- A record per visit: data goes straight into summaries, one row per day rather than a million rows per month.
- An “unique people of all time” figure: the daily marker is deliberately unable to recognise yesterday's guest, so “all time” is the sum of daily figures.
How to install
You already have it. Panel → Modules → enable.
