But how does it work if you are behind a cdn like cloudflare is the usual question, but since Wordpress creates each page dynamically it might work.
- dvko 7y agoHey, this uses a tracking request that is initiated client-side. So even if the page is not generated dynamically, Koko Analytics will work just fine.
- 9HZZRfNlpR 7y agoYou can make it work with cloudflare, just a bit configuration needed so CF is sending you the real visitor IPs, otherwise every hit looks like it's done by distributed CF machines.
- dvko 7y agoThe plugin doesn't use IP addresses at all, so this isn't needed. There is an option to determine returning visitors using a cookie (easiest, realiable) but it can be turned off. When not using a cookie, the plugin will look at the `document.referrer` value to determine whether a visitor is returning and whether a pageview is unique (less reliable, but should be good enough for some). IP addresses are not looked at at all (let alone stored).
- onreact 7y agoWebalizer was clumsy and cluttered. I used it like 20 years ago. Koko is way cleaner.
- stephenr 7y agoGoAccess is a modern log based analyser. I’ve just deployed it analysing logs coming out of varnish cache (on two servers, using syslog to keep log data the same across machines) for a client. It works well, no additional client side code or cookies or changes of any kind required on the (web) application layer.
