About this plugin
EveryPage turns your PDFs into secure, trackable share links – and shows you who actually read them, right inside wp-admin. Instead of emailing an attachment or dropping a file on a page and hoping, you get a clean link and a readership report: who opened it, how far they read, how long they spent, and whether they came back.
It is built for anyone who publishes documents meant to do a job – lead magnets, whitepapers, price lists, proposals, reports, course material, media kits – and wants to know how they land.
What you can do
- Upload a PDF from the EveryPage admin and get a secure, trackable share link in seconds.
- See all your files with view counts and expiry at a glance, and open the full readership report for any document in one click.
- Edit a file’s settings without leaving WordPress: viewer mode and appearance, download and copy protection, password, view limits, watermarking, email gate and lead-capture form, expiry, vanity slug, and page range – everything your EveryPage plan includes, from a drawer on the Files page.
- Share every file three ways from its row: copy the link, show a QR code, or copy a ready-made iframe embed code.
- Read page-by-page analytics: a read-through funnel, time per page, returning readers, and reader country – without storing visitor IP addresses.
- Keep an eye on recent activity from your main dashboard with the “Recent reads” widget (file, reader country, pages read, when).
- Add the EveryPage Document block: pick one of your documents (or upload a PDF right from the editor), then embed it inline as a live viewer or as a link/button – with a live preview in the editor.
- Tune a document’s viewer from the block sidebar (viewer mode, background, page effects, protection, branding – per your EveryPage plan), including one-click “Match my theme’s colours”.
- Embed a tracked document anywhere with the [everypage uuid="..."] shortcode – block editor, classic editor, or widgets.
- Generate a QR code for any link and download it as a PNG.
- Share any PDF already in your Media Library: a “Share via EveryPage” row action, a button in the attachment details, and a bulk action – each share gives you the link, QR code, and embed snippet, and an EveryPage column shows view counts at a glance.
- Replace existing links to a Media Library PDF across your posts and pages with its tracked EveryPage link – with a dry-run preview first, an explicit confirm, and your posts’ revision history keeping the previous versions.
- Bring captured leads into WordPress: when a reader completes your email gate or lead-capture form, the plugin fires the everypage_lead_captured action so MailPoet, FluentCRM, Newsletter, WP Fusion, or three lines of your own code can add them to a list (EveryPage Pro).
- Build with Elementor instead of the block editor? The EveryPage Document widget renders the same tracked viewer, embedded or as a button.
Leads, in WordPress
Documents that ask for an email – a lead-capture form or the simple “Require email to view” gate – collect readers’ details on EveryPage. Turn on lead sync (EveryPage -> Settings) and the plugin checks hourly for new ones and fires an action hook for each:
add_action( 'everypage_lead_captured', function ( $lead ) { // $lead['email'], $lead['fields'], $lead['file_uuid'], $lead['file_name'], $lead['source'] } );
Optionally, each new lead can also be created as a WordPress subscriber. Leads captured before you switch sync on are left alone, so turning it on never floods your list with old contacts. Lead capture and reporting require an EveryPage Pro plan.
Privacy-first by design
EveryPage measures readership without storing visitor IP addresses – readers are pseudonymous, so you get returning-reader detection and engagement without holding personal data you would rather not be responsible for. Password protection, an email-capture gate, link expiry, and AES-256 encrypted storage are available depending on your EveryPage plan.

External services
co), the external service it depends on to store and share your PDFs and to report readership analytics. A free EveryPage account and an API key are required.
The plugin sends data to EveryPage over HTTPS only when you actively use it:
- When you upload a PDF (EveryPage -> Files), that PDF file is sent to your EveryPage account to create a secure, trackable share link.
- When you share a PDF from your Media Library (row action, attachment details, or bulk action), that PDF file is read from your server and sent to your EveryPage account the same way.
- When you view your files, a file’s analytics, or the “Recent reads” dashboard widget, the plugin sends authenticated requests to read that data.
- When you open a file’s QR code, the plugin requests the QR image for that file.
- When lead sync is switched on, the plugin asks EveryPage hourly for leads captured since the last check, and for the reader details recorded against documents using the “Require email to view” gate. Those leads are then stored in your WordPress database, which makes you – not EveryPage – responsible for them under your own privacy policy.
- When you use the EveryPage Document block or the Elementor widget in the editor, the plugin lists your files, uploads a PDF you choose, or saves viewer settings – all server-side; your API key is never sent to the browser. A published embed loads the document viewer from everypage.co in visitors’ browsers (no API key involved).
Every request includes your EveryPage API key as a bearer token. Nothing is sent until you take one of the actions above, and the plugin contacts no other external service.
