SteClick Counter

Beschreibung

SteClick Counter is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you track link clicks by doing just one thing:
adding a simple prefix to your existing URLs.

No complex setup. No JavaScript. No external analytics services.

To start tracking clicks, simply add the prefix /?tag=XXX&to= before the URL you want to track.
The plugin logs the click and immediately redirects the visitor to the destination.

This makes SteClick Counter ideal for tracking:
– Download buttons
– PDF links
– Embedded content
– External links and call-to-action buttons

Key Benefits:
* Simple Prefix System: No configuration required. Just add /?tag=XXX&to= to any link and start tracking instantly.
* Lightweight & Fast: No JavaScript and no performance impact on your site.
* Database Lean: Uses the file system for logging instead of creating database tables.
* Privacy-First: No cookies, no tracking scripts, and no third-party services.

How It Works

To track a link, prepend the /?tag=XXX&to= prefix to the original URL.

Original URL:
https://example.com/document.pdf

Tracked URL:
/?tag=doc-01&to=https://example.com/document.pdf

Tracking a download link (HTML example)

You can also track download buttons or links by modifying the href attribute.

Original HTML:
<a href=“https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip“>Download ZIP file</a>

Tracked HTML:
<a href=“/?tag=zip01&to=https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip“>Download ZIP file</a>

When a visitor clicks a tracked link, SteClick Counter records:
– The timestamp
– Your custom tag
– The destination URL
– The referrer (source page)

You can view all click statistics in Settings → SteClick Counter.
