Component tabs

  • Summary - the main numbers for the period with the change against the previous period, the traffic chart, top pages, top sources and goals; if there were visits on several domains - the Domains table.
  • Pages - views, entries, exits and time on page; pages by site section (by the resource tree).
  • Sources - source types (search, social networks, messengers, email, ads, other sites, direct visits), referring sites (the arrow shows their pages) and UTM tags.
  • Devices - device type, operating system, browser, screen size.
  • Geography - countries, regions and cities (requires the IP2Location databases).
  • Visitors - new and returning visitors and the visit list. A visit row opens the visitor card: first and last visit, first source, site user (if logged in), recent visits.
  • Actions - file downloads, outbound links, clicks on elements from stats3x.click_selectors, form submissions and custom _st3x.e() actions.
  • Goals - goal setup, conversions, conversion rate and value. The magnifier button shows all reports only for visits with this goal. The Conversions subtab is a log: who, when, from where and on which page reached a goal.
  • Recordings - session recordings and the click map (only with the stats3x_replay permission).
  • Online now - visitors of the last 5 minutes, refreshed every 30 seconds.
  • State - the data folder and whether it is reachable from the internet, cron tasks and the result of their last run, IP2Location databases, email reports and the "Send report now" button.

Session recordings and the click map

The Recordings tab lists recordings for the period: start, duration, number of pages and clicks, rage clicks (several clicks in one spot in a row - the visitor cannot click something), entry page. The "Watch recording" button opens the player: marks on the timeline show clicks, page changes and field input, "Skip pauses" fast-forwards idle time. The "Only with rage clicks" checkbox keeps the problem visits. A recording appears about half an hour after the visitor leaves.

The "Click map" sub-tab shows clicks from the recordings of the period on top of the page itself - separately for desktops, tablets and phones - and lines showing how far visitors scrolled. The map is built only from recorded visits, so session recording must be enabled.

Manager dashboard widget

On installation the "Website statistics" widget is added to the manager dashboard: visitors, visits and views for today compared to yesterday, who is online now, a 7 or 30 day chart, top pages and sources. If cron does not work, the widget warns about it. The widget can be removed or added back in the dashboard settings (Dashboards → dashboard → Widgets). A package update does not bring back a removed widget while the stats3x.widget_placed system setting exists.

Privacy

  • stats3x.tracking_mode = cookieless - tracking without cookies: the visitor number is calculated on the server from IP and browser and changes every day, returning visitors are not visible.
  • The part after # and parameters with tokens, passwords, emails, phone numbers and the like are always removed from page and referrer URLs. Add your own parameters to stats3x.hidden_params.
  • stats3x.show_ip = No - IP addresses are not shown in the manager (they stay in the database: needed for exclusions and geography).
  • Exclude your own and office visits with the stats3x.exclude_ips setting. Bots are dropped when the data is parsed.
  • Session recording - see Setup → step 6.
