Descripción
HitKeep Analytics connects WordPress to a self-hosted or cloud HitKeep instance. It injects the normal hk.js tracker from your HitKeep instance and keeps data flowing through the core HitKeep ingest pipeline.
The plugin does not add a separate analytics backend, database, queue, or third-party service. It only loads the tracker from the HitKeep instance you configure.
Privacy-first web analytics for WordPress
HitKeep is built for teams that want useful web analytics without adopting a heavy analytics stack. The WordPress plugin keeps setup simple: choose your HitKeep instance, save the settings, and the plugin loads the first-party tracker on public pages.
Logged-in WordPress users are skipped by default, so administrators and editors do not pollute public traffic reports. Browser Do Not Track is respected by default.
