May 29, 2023 at 8:19 am #245627AbdulazizGuest
What are the best statistics that can be highly reliable so that they do not take up much space in the database?
And how can the old statistics that were exported by Google Analytics be merged with the new statistics?
May 29, 2023 at 8:23 am #245631StefanoKeymasterPost Views Counter is probably the most lightweight and feature-rich WP plugin.
Active Analytics is another for which I’ll be looking to add support for in the coming weeks.
May 29, 2023 at 1:14 pm #245633AbdulazizGuestWell, I’ll give it a try
Also, it’s not nice what you’ve done recentlyJune 14, 2023 at 8:15 pm #245845AbdulazizGuestAfter I update the plugin this error appears

that error usually means that for some unspecified reason, the database update failed. It’s no big deal though: you can go to Options > Counting settings, make sure all looks good (especially the newVisits tracker
section), and re-save them. Stats will be unaffected.June 20, 2023 at 1:36 am #245880AbdulazizGuestUnfortunately, after I examined this tool, I found that it stores visitor data in the database, and therefore this will be poorly captured on the database.
Didn’t you specify the date of adding Google Analytics yet?June 20, 2023 at 6:54 am #245885StefanoKeymasterGA4 is not on Post Pay Counter’s roadmap.
June 20, 2023 at 2:40 pm #245888AbdulazizGuestBrother, you promised to make the add-on good and to challenge it periodically. The distinctive thing about this add-on is its association with Google Analytics. I hope you will reconsider this, as it is really important.
Also, instead of trying to add more, adding more Google Analytics alternatives, you can just work on Google Analytics. This would be great.June 21, 2023 at 5:17 pm #245908AbdulazizGuestSomeone suggested yandex analytics
Look overJune 27, 2023 at 12:48 am #245942AbdulazizGuestany news
June 27, 2023 at 6:04 am #245950StefanoKeymasterPlease stop asking for updates on GA4. As I have already said multiple times, it is not on the product’s roadmap. There are 7 other visits trackers PPC supports, and mostly are free and accurate.
While refunds are normally only granted within 30-days, given the special situation I am willing to give a 50% refund on your license if Analytics integration is crucial for you (even if news of the situation was already available in November 2022). Let me know if you’d like to pursue this road and I will emit the refund. That’s the best I can do.
June 27, 2023 at 6:09 am #245952AbdulazizGuestDear Stefano
What I want is statistics that are not shown in the data base I have, and all the other statistics that I added depend on taking the statistics in the data bases or paying them
A friend of mine suggested yandex analytics come on looks good why not take a look
Well, I will try to understand your position regarding Google statistics, as it is still in the starting stage and has some things that have not been completed yet, but at least later, when it is appropriate for you to add it, add it
Or maybe Yandex Analytics will be goodJune 27, 2023 at 6:40 am #245954StefanoKeymasterWhat I want is statistics that are not shown in the data base I have, and all the other statistics that I added depend on taking the statistics in the data bases or paying them
I can assure you that it’s not a burden for WordPress to store an extra number for each post. So again, check out Post Views Counter. I have many customers using it, and I use it on my own websites. It’s not a problem at all if it stores something in your database.
On the other hand, if you want data detailed to the hour, with all the statistics Google provides, you’re gonna have to pay for it, because providing such a service is very expensive for any company. The only company that can afford not to make you pay is Google, or comparable tech giants who can afford to make a loss just to strangle smaller competitors.

This looks good. Can you tell me, for example, for every 100,000 visits, how much database space is taken?*****

It seems that you have come close to my point of view. This is what I am referring to. Unfortunately, the only one who provides statistics and hosts them on its servers is Google.
Unfortunately, it is the best solution currently, so I always referred to you for that
But I want you to give me a word that if it becomes appropriate for you to add Google statistics, you will add them. I do not pressure you. I might say when all the problems you face are fixed.
Or you can simply take a look at Yandex Analytics, it looks easy as well, and it’s free like GoogleJune 27, 2023 at 6:54 am #245958StefanoKeymasterThis looks good. Can you tell me, for example, for every 100,000 visits, how much database space is taken?
I cannot provide estimates, but it’s not much a matter of how many visits you get, but rather how many posts you have. Try it out and judge for yourself: install and uninstall is free 😉
June 27, 2023 at 6:57 am #245960AbdulazizGuestWell, I will do that but don’t forget to take a look at Yandex Analytics, as it looks like a good alternative to Google Stats.
