About this plugin
The privacy-first analytics plugin for WordPress, with an Ask me! tab that turns your top questions into one-click answers.
See exactly who visits your site, where they come from, what they do, and on WooCommerce stores how that converts into revenue. No cookies, no third-party trackers, no visitor data sent anywhere. All analytics and revenue data live in your own WordPress database.
Just ask. No reports to dig through.
Most analytics dashboards make you learn the tool before you can answer a question. Statnive’s Ask me! tab flips that around.
Pin your 5 favourite questions and the answers fill in the moment the page loads. Browse 10 category tabs (Traffic, Pages, Referrers, Geography, Devices, Real-time, Engagement, Revenue, Events, Campaigns) and click any question to expand the live answer with the same date range you set everywhere else.
Owners typically open Statnive to ask:
- How much traffic this week?
- Where is my traffic coming from?
- Which pages get the most views?
- What countries are my visitors from?
- Is my traffic mobile or desktop?
- How many people are on my site right now?
- What’s my best landing page?
- How much organic search traffic?
- Did my campaign work?
- Is my tracking working?
Every answer is computed locally from your WordPress database. No AI, no LLM, no third-party API, no question ever leaves your server. The same SQL that powers the dedicated reports answers the Ask me!
cards, so the numbers always match what the reports show.
Open source under GPLv2. Self-hosted in your own database — nothing ever leaves your server.
Install, activate, open Statnive — your dashboard fills up within minutes. No tracking code to paste, no account to create. If WooCommerce is active, existing orders are auto-imported in the background so the Revenue Report fills in within minutes.
