Changelog

You can now track clicks on any link on your website. Configure which links to track with the Click Tracking menu and then analyze your clicks in the Clicks report. Learn more here.

The date picker is now much easier to use via the keyboard and screen reading technology.

Submissions of forms created with Avada are now tracked automatically by Independent Analytics Pro. Learn more about form tracking here.

You can now customize the email address the email report comes from. Make sure to use an email that uses the same domain as your website to ensure reliable deliverability.

Sales using the WC Price Based on Country plugin weren’t being converted into the right currencies when calculated in the analytics reports. IA is now using the exchange rates provided to get the correct sales figures.

New users will see a small popup in the corner of the analytics recommending our Getting Started video tutorial.

Tracking logged-in visitors is vital for most eCommerce stores. Otherwise, sales and activity will go untracked for logged-in customers.

For new users, the administrator role is blocked by default in the setting to ignore user roles.

The Analytics menu has a shiny new icon that better matches our brand 🙂

If you’re using the ClickWhale plugin, your link pages are now being tracked by Independent Analytics.

Users in the Rome timezone were seeing the name of the previous month above the current month in the date picker.

The extra space to the right of the analytics has now been removed.

Hovering over a sort button in the table was causing the cursor to change icons rapidly.

The chart could display missing data when it included the beginning of DST in the Cuban or Paraguay timezones.

The page URLs are clickable in exports of the Pages report, but the clickable area of each link was positioned way above the position of the actual URL.

Error notices were getting logged every time a 404 page was visited if SureCart was installed

Selecting a single day in the date picker was difficult due to a bug with choosing an end date.

IA keeps track of the first day that data was recorded, but this value wasn’t updated when the automatic data deletion deletes the oldest data.

SureCart sales are now tracked automatically and reported throughout the analytics dashboard. This integration is like the existing WooCommerce integration and lets you see sales metrics in the Quick Stats, chart, and data table. Learn more here.

You can now select which WooCommerce order statuses you want to count in the analytics.

The date picker has been rebuilt from scratch and now includes an improved user experience. The current month is now displayed on the right side, it’s easier to select start and end dates individually, and it’s faster to navigate across long date ranges.

The chart in the dashboard widget was hard to read, so we’ve increased it’s height to make it clearer.

When configuring the automatic data deletion, you’ll now see a preview telling you how many sessions will be deleted. This will help you confirm how much data will be removed and also provide extra assurance you’ve selected an appropriate retention period.

The Net Sales metric in IA Pro better matches the Total Sales metric in WooCommerce, so it has been renamed.

Unminified JS files were removed from the plugin.

Our new Getting Started video tutorial is an excellent way to learn all the features of Independent Analytics.

Changes to the table columns and filters are now restricted until the report is fully loaded.

The Real-time analytics report now displays properly for sites using right-to-left languages.

There’s now an option in the Analytics > Settings menu where you can choose to delete data older than X days/years. This allows you to limit how much data is stored. Data that is older than the set threshold gets deleted daily at midnight.

It’s always been possible to give authors and other non-admins access to the analytics. Now, you can let them see stats for their own content only, so they can’t see stats for any other pages.

The public view counter has a customizable label, and now that label can be hidden completely if desired.

If you’re using Independent Analytics Pro, you can track submissions for custom-made forms. Check out the developer documentation here.

Form tracking now automatically records submissions for any forms made with Bit Form, Forminator, and Hustle.

Independent Analytics is now fully translated into Turkish.

The IP blocking feature doesn’t block IPs from accessing your site; it only ignores them in the statistics. We’ve rewritten these details in the settings menu for clarity.

Long column headings are now abbreviated and appear in full when hovered over.

Some chart metrics, like bounce rate, were showing a range of 0-100% in the axis. This made analysis difficult because the ranges are often from 85-95%. Metrics like this now show a smaller range of values in the axis.

The dark mode styles weren’t applied to modals in the Analytics menu.

There was an option that could be set for sites using MariaDB that made text-based filters run extremely slowly.

It was impossible to save a report showing only one metric in the chart due to this bug.

The Top 10 lists in the Real-time analytics report were missing data from sessions that lasted longer than 5 minutes. If a visitor stayed on the site for longer than 5 minutes, their page views after the first 5 minutes wouldn’t appear in the Top 10 lists.

The chart metrics now use the currency defined by the store.
