About this plugin

The Official StatCounter WordPress Plugin adds StatCounter to your site in a couple of clicks – no code editing required. StatCounter has provided reliable, real-time visitor analytics to millions of websites since 1999, and now includes session replay and heatmaps.

Session Replay

Watch recordings of real visits to your site – a video-like playback of each visitor’s clicks, scrolls and page navigation:

  • See exactly where visitors get stuck, confused or frustrated
  • Understand why visitors abandon carts, forms and signups
  • Watch how visitors from a specific campaign, country or referrer actually use your site
  • Improve support: replay a customer’s session to see what went wrong

Heatmaps

See at a glance where your visitors click – and what they ignore:

  • Click heatmaps highlight the links, buttons and images getting the most attention
  • Interactive elements like dropdowns and mobile menus are tracked too
  • Spot “dead clicks” on elements that look clickable but aren’t
  • Compare engagement across desktop and mobile

Real-Time Visitor Stats

All the classic StatCounter reports, updated in real time:

  • Popular pages, entry pages and exit pages
  • Incoming traffic: referring sites, keywords and campaigns
  • Visitor paths, visit length and returning visits
  • Country, state and city stats with a recent visitor map
  • Browser, OS, screen resolution and ISP stats
  • Magnify individual visitors for a detailed session report
  • Email reports, multiple site management and user access management
  • Invisible counter option

Questions

Do I need to edit my theme or add any code?

No. Activate the plugin, enter your StatCounter Project ID and Security Code, and the tracking code is added to every page automatically.

Is StatCounter free?

Yes – the Basic plan is free forever and includes real-time visitor stats. Session replay and heatmaps are premium features, and every new account starts with a 30-day free trial (no credit card required).

Will the tracking code slow down my site?

No. The StatCounter code is lightweight and loads asynchronously, so it does not block your pages from rendering.
