## چۈشەندۈرۈش

Integrate [GoatCounter](https://www.goatcounter.com) into your WordPress site with
a clean admin dashboard showing visits, pages and device breakdown — all without
cookies, without tracking personal data, and without needing a GDPR consent banner.

**Why GoatCounter?**

 * No cookies — no GDPR/cookie banner required
 * Lightweight — single async script, zero performance impact
 * Open source and privacy-respecting
 * Free for up to 100,000 pageviews/month

**Dashboard features**

 * Three tabs: **Temporal** (time series), **Pages** (top content), **Devices** (
   browsers, OS, countries)
 * Five time periods: today, 7 days, 30 days, quarter (90 days), year (365 days)
 * SVG bar chart of visits per hour / day / week / month depending on period
 * Day-of-week distribution with percentage and visit count
 * Top pages with WordPress page title lookup and direct links
 * Browsers and operating systems with percentage bars
 * Countries breakdown with percentage bars
 * Summary metric cards (total visits, pages, countries, top browser)
 * Remembers the active tab across page reloads (localStorage)
 * Available in English and Catalan

**Setup in 3 steps**

 1. Create a free account at [goatcounter.com](https://www.goatcounter.com)
 2. Go to **Analytics  Settings** and enter your site code and API token
 3. Done — the tracking script is injected automatically and stats appear in the dashboard

### External services

This plugin relies on [GoatCounter](https://www.goatcounter.com), a third-party 
privacy-friendly analytics service. GoatCounter is required for the plugin to function—
you must create your own free GoatCounter account.

**Tracking script**: On every front-end page view, the visitor’s browser loads a
tracking script from `https://gc.zgo.at/count.js` and sends a pageview request to`
https://{your-site-code}.goatcounter.com/count`. This happens for every visitor 
on every page load, and includes standard pageview data (URL, referrer, screen size)—
GoatCounter does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information.

**Dashboard API**: When you view the Analytics dashboard in your WordPress admin,
this plugin sends requests (using your API token) to `https://{your-site-code}.goatcounter.
com/api/v0` to retrieve your stats. This only happens when a logged-in administrator
visits the Analytics page.
