By understanding how visitors interact with your website, valuable insights can be gained into what areas are working well and what requires improvement. Thankfully, for WordPress users, there is a variety of options for tracking and analyzing website traffic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Google_Analytics\"><\/span>Method #1: Google Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google Analytics is a popular website analytics tool offering valuable data about website visitors, including their behavior, location, and frequently accessed pages. First, a Google account must be created, and the Analytics service must be signed up for. Once done, a tracking code should be inserted into the WordPress site. MonsterInsights, a plugin, can easily do this without any fuss. After installing, all website analytics data can be viewed from the WordPress dashboard by navigating to Insights \u00bb Reports.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Jetpack\"><\/span>Method #2: Jetpack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jetpack is another well-known WordPress plugin for monitoring website traffic.

Enable Jetpack for website analytics by going to Jetpack \u00bb Settings \u00bb Traffic, where data on site visitors can be observed, including page views, top-performing content, unique visitors, and social referrals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_WordPresscom_Stats\"><\/span>Method #3: WordPress.com Stats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For those who don&#8217;t want external plugins, WordPress offers its own website analytics tool, WordPress.com Stats. Basic website analytics data is provided, such as the number of visitors, visited pages, and location. To utilize WordPress.com Stats, a WordPress.com account must be created, and the WordPress.com Stats module should be enabled by going to Jetpack \u00bb Settings \u00bb Traffic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_4_Clicky\"><\/span>Method #4: Clicky<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Clicky is a website analytics tool that provides real-time data on website visitors. Features include heatmaps, detailed visitor profiles, and visitor segmentation. To utilize Clicky, an account must be created, and the Clicky tracking code should be added to the WordPress site through a plugin like Clicky for WordPress. After finishing setup, real-time data on website visitors will be available within the Clicky dashboard.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Summarize\"><\/span>To Summarize:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous ways to monitor site traffic on WordPress. Google Analytics, Jetpack, WordPress.com Stats, and Clicky each possess their unique features and benefits. For beginners, using free tools like WordPress.com Stats or Jetpack could be a good start while more advanced users may prefer Google Analytics or Clicky for more detailed analytics and real-time data.
