GreenOrb Statistics

Privacy-first WordPress analytics

Analytics that tell you the truth

Every visit stays in your own database. Every number is measured honestly — engaged time that counts the last page of a visit, and bot traffic caught by how it behaves, not just what it claims to be. And when you want answers, just ask — with Pro.

Three things nobody else gives you together

🔒

Private by design

All tracking and reporting happens on your own server — no third-party services, no data leaving your site, no IP addresses stored. Works with consent managers, honours Do Not Track, and keeps year-on-year history even after pruning.

Honestly measured

Real engaged time — counted only while the page is actually being used, and including the last page of a visit, which pageview-gap tools count as zero. Idle tabs and bot-held pages don’t accrue a second, and suspected bots get flagged. Play counts that are a floor, never an estimate. Funnels that show real figures. Numbers you can act on.

🤖

Ask it anything Pro

The built-in AI assistant answers questions about your stats in plain English — “what changed this month, and why?” — fetching whichever reports it needs. Bring your own Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini key; only aggregate statistics are shared unless you explicitly opt in to per-visitor answers.

Ask AI Pro

Your analytics, with answers

Stop hunting through reports. Ask a question in plain English and the built-in assistant fetches whichever reports it needs — comparing periods, combining sources, and telling you what changed and why.

Bring your own Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini key. Keys are encrypted at rest, it shares aggregate statistics by default (per-visitor answers are a separate opt-in), and it strictly answers questions about your stats — nothing else.

Which products earned the most last month, and which sources drove those sales?

Your top earner was My Product — £3,210 across 31 orders, up 18% on the previous month.

  • Organic search drove 44% of that revenue
  • Direct 31%, email campaigns 17%
  • Most buyers landed on your product review post first

Worth noting: checkout drop-off fell to 38% after your shipping change.

The honest-numbers difference

A visitor reads your best article for 10 minutes, then leaves

Pageview-gap analytics

0:00

No next page load to measure against — the last page of every visit counts as zero.

GreenOrb Statistics

9:47

Real engaged time, measured while the page is open, visible and actively being used — idle and bot-held tabs don’t count.

Single-page visits and final pages are where your most engaged readers live — and where most tools record nothing. How we measure it →

Bot defence

Bots can visit. They can’t pollute.

Modern junk traffic doesn’t announce itself. It runs a real Chrome browser, rotates through clean VPN and datacenter IPs, and fakes a Google referrer — and most analytics tools count it as your most engaged reader. User-agent filters catch the bots that admit it. GreenOrb Statistics also catches the ones that don’t.

🕵️

Caught by behaviour

A daily scan flags impostors by the one thing they can’t fake: being a reader. Many sessions, a single page, and not one scroll, click or play across all of them earns a 🤖 badge — automatically, no setup.

⏱️

No fake reading time

Engaged time only counts while a page is genuinely being used, so an automated browser parked on your article banks nothing. Your averages defend themselves before you even log in.

🗑️

Two-click cleanup

You hold the verdict. Pardon a false positive forever — or erase a bot’s entire history and watch your past totals recalculate as if it had never visited. Optionally block it from ever being counted again.

Flag-only by default — nothing leaves your statistics without your say-so. How bot defence works →

The Reports screen: traffic metric cards and a views-over-time chart with previous-period comparison

Trends at a glance

Every number, against last period

  • Period-over-period everywhere — every card and chart compares against the previous period, so “is this good?” answers itself.
  • Year-on-year that survives pruning — monthly totals are kept forever, even after old raw data is cleaned up.
  • Customise every page — drag panels, hide what you don’t use; each report remembers your layout.
  • Take it with you — CSV export on the key reports, PDF export of the overview.
