| 12 | User-friendly website analytics built for WordPress. Try our GDPR-compliant, lightweight Google Analytics alternative. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | == Description == |
| 15 | |
| 16 | **[Independent Analytics](https://independentwp.com/)** is a GDPR friendly website analytics plugin made exclusively for WordPress. Give it a try if you're ready for a Google Analytics alternative. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | **Beautiful & Customizable Dashboard** |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Use the modern & responsive dashboard in dark mode or light mode to see how many views your site is getting and where your traffic is coming from. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Filter your views by page title, URL, page type, author, and more |
| 23 | * Instantly sort your views by any column |
| 24 | * Customize the columns your data table displays |
| 25 | * Choose any date range and watch the dashboard update instantly |
| 26 | |
| 27 | **GDPR Compliant** |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Independent Analytics is 100% GDPR compliant out-of-box. You don't need to adjust any settings - just install it and it works. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | It uses cookie-less tracking, so you don't need to show a cookie popup form, and since it is a plugin and not a third-party app, your data is never shared with another server. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | **Made for WordPress** |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Independent Analytics isn't like URL-based analytics programs. It's a first-of-its-class page-based analytics system. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Instead of seeing a bunch of URLs and having to guess which pages they're for, you'll see a list of your pages and their views, along with other data like the page type, publication date, author, and more. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | **No copy & pasting tracking codes** |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Just install the plugin and tracking starts right away. You don't need to mess with any tracking codes, edit your site's head element, or create an account anywhere else. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | **Referrer reports** |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Find out where your site's visitors are coming from with the referrer report. You can easily compare traffic between search engines, social media sites, and other referrers. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | |
