is a self-hosted CRO and behavior analytics plugin for WordPress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2wlJ6ok5-Wk<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\ude80 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.optiuser.com\/?demo_login=go\">Try the Live Demo<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 explore the full analytics dashboard in one click, no installation and no signup required.<\/p>\n\n<p>Visitors rarely explain why they leave. They click, scroll, hesitate, abandon forms, hit errors, ignore CTAs, or drop out of checkout. Opti-Behavior turns those silent behaviors into clear optimization signals inside your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<p>Instead of sending visitor behavior to an external analytics cloud, Opti-Behavior stores analytics data on your own WordPress server. Use it to understand friction, protect visitor privacy, and make better conversion decisions with heatmaps, funnels, A\/B testing, analytics, and Pro growth tools.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Opti-Behavior Suite for WordPress Optimization<\/h4>\n\n<p>Opti-Behavior is built around one simple psychology principle: users reveal intent through behavior before they explain it with words.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udcca <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-dashboard\/\">Real-Time Analytics<\/a> - See what visitors are doing now: sessions, pageviews, devices, traffic sources, countries, engagement, and bot-filtered activity.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-heatmaps\/\">Heatmaps<\/a> - Discover what users notice, ignore, click, misclick, and scroll past so you can improve layout, CTAs, and page focus.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udded <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-funnels\/\">Conversion Funnels<\/a> - Find the exact step where motivation turns into abandonment, from landing page to checkout or lead form.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\uddea <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-ab-testing\/\">A\/B Testing<\/a> - Replace opinions with evidence by testing pages, elements, goals, and conversion paths directly in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udca1 <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-smart-insights\/\">Smart Insights<\/a> - Turn behavior analytics into prioritized CRO recommendations, weekly summaries, evidence, and next actions inside WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udfa5 <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/ob-feature-recordings\/\">Session Recordings<\/a> - Watch hesitation, rage clicks, dead clicks, scrolling, navigation, and friction moments in real user sessions.

The hard part is understanding the human reason behind the numbers.<\/p>\n\n<p>Opti-Behavior helps answer practical conversion questions:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Which parts of the page attract attention?<\/li>\n<li>Where do visitors hesitate or lose confidence?<\/li>\n<li>Which funnel step causes the biggest drop-off?<\/li>\n<li>Which form field creates too much effort?<\/li>\n<li>Which CTA, layout, product page, or message should be tested next?<\/li>\n<li>Are bots, spam, errors, or slow pages distorting your decisions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The goal is not more dashboards.

If CloudFlare is active, no external calls are made.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Data Sent:<\/strong> Only the visitor's IP address. No personally identifiable information is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Caching:<\/strong> Results are cached for 1 hour to minimize API requests.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Privacy:<\/strong>\n* Service: https:\/\/ip-api.com\/\n* Terms &amp; Privacy: https:\/\/ip-api.com\/docs\/legal\n* Note: ip-api.com may log IP addresses. Review their privacy policy for details.<\/p>\n\n<h4>IP Geolocation Fallback (ipwho.is)<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> Secondary geolocation fallback when ip-api.com is rate-limited or unavailable. Provides geographic location data (country, city, region, timezone) for visitor analytics.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>When Used:<\/strong> Only when both CloudFlare headers and ip-api.com fail to resolve a visitor's location. ip-api.com's free tier has a 45 requests\/minute rate limit, so on high-traffic sites ipwho.is ensures visitors are still geolocated accurately.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Data Sent:<\/strong> Only the visitor's IP address. No personally identifiable information is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Caching:<\/strong> Results are cached for 1 hour to minimize API requests.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Privacy:<\/strong>\n* Service: https:\/\/ipwho.is\/\n* Terms &amp; Privacy: https:\/\/ipwho.is\/\n* Note: ipwho.is may log IP addresses. Review their privacy policy for details.<\/p>\n\n<h4>OpenStreetMap Tiles<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> Displays the interactive visitor location map in your WordPress admin dashboard.\n<strong>When Used:<\/strong> Only when YOU (the admin) view the real-time visitor map. Not used on the frontend.\n<strong>Data Sent:<\/strong> Your browser makes direct requests to OpenStreetMap tile servers (standard HTTP headers only).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Privacy:<\/strong>\n* Service: https:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/\n* Tile Policy: https:\/\/operations.osmfoundation.org\/policies\/tiles\/\n* Privacy Policy: https:\/\/wiki.osmfoundation.org\/wiki\/Privacy_Policy<\/p>\n\n<h4>OptiUser API (api.optiuser.com)<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> Handles anonymous install tracking, plugin deactivation notifications, Pro trial license generation, license validation, update checks, and download access code generation for the Pro plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>When Used:<\/strong>\n* <strong>Install tracker:<\/strong> Sends a heartbeat once every 24 hours after activation, containing only: site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, plugin type (free\/pro), and one best available administrator contact email when a valid contact exists. No visitor data is sent.\n* <strong>Deactivation:<\/strong> Notifies the API when the plugin is deactivated so installation records stay up to date.\n* <strong>Pro upgrade pages:<\/strong> When an admin views a Pro feature upgrade page (Session Recordings, Error Tracking, User Journeys, Form Analytics), the plugin requests a one-time download access code from the API. This code is used to securely access the Pro download page on optiuser.com.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Data Sent:<\/strong> Site URL, WordPress admin username when applicable, and one best available administrator contact email for install tracking, Pro trial\/license management, and Pro download access code requests. The plugin selects a single valid contact email and does not send a list of administrator emails. No visitor analytics data is ever sent to the API.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Privacy:<\/strong>\n* Service: https:\/\/api.optiuser.com\/\n* Website: https:\/\/optiuser.com\/\n* Privacy Policy: https:\/\/optiuser.com\/privacy-policy\/\n* The API stores installation metadata (site URL, plugin version) for license management. No visitor data is collected or stored by the API.<\/p>\n\n<h4>OptiUser Website (optiuser.com)<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> Hosts the Opti-Behavior Pro download page and sales\/feature pages. When an admin clicks \"Download Pro \u2014 Free for 6 Months\" on a Pro upgrade page, they are redirected to optiuser.com to register and download the Pro plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>When Used:<\/strong> Only when an admin chooses to download Opti-Behavior Pro from a Pro upgrade page within the WordPress admin. This is an optional, user-initiated action.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Data Sent:<\/strong> Site URL,  username, and  email address are passed as URL parameters to pre-fill the registration form. No visitor analytics data is sent.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Privacy:<\/strong>\n* Service: https:\/\/optiuser.com\/\n* Privacy Policy: https:\/\/optiuser.com\/privacy-policy\/<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Important Note:<\/strong> All analytics data is stored locally on your WordPress server.

Only the visitor's IP address is sent to these services. See the \"External Services\" section above for complete details.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Usage Tracking:<\/strong> With your explicit consent (granted via the first-run welcome screen), this plugin sends usage statistics to api.optiuser.com once every 24 hours.

The tracking script loads asynchronously, events are batched, and the Hybrid Storage engine can store high-volume analytics events in optimized files instead of writing every interaction directly to MySQL.

Thinly observed signals are flagged as observations to confirm instead of being promoted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> Business impact in money \u2014 when a value per conversion is known, cards and the detail modal show the exposure (\"\u2248 $1,240 at risk this period\") with the drop-off count, conversion rate and order value behind it. A new \"Value of one conversion\" setting covers sites without readable WooCommerce order history; WooCommerce data takes precedence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> \"Where is the problem?\" \u2014 every insight now names the audience carrying it. The segment split is computed on the real behaviour tables across 8 dimensions (device, browser, country, traffic source, campaign, new vs returning, time of day, day type) with a significance test, comparison bars you can click to re-scope the evidence, and a daily chart of the metric with the previous period behind it and a \"first detected\" marker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> Outcome verification \u2014 resolving an insight freezes its \"before\" measurement and a daily job re-measures the same signal over the two weeks that follow. Resolved cards carry a \"Fixed  \u2014   \u2192 \" chip, the weekly brief gained a \"Wins this month\" block, and the CSV export gained <code>outcome_verdict<\/code> and <code>outcome_change<\/code> columns. Too little post-fix traffic stores an honest <code>inconclusive<\/code> verdict instead of a win.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> Automatic funnel creation \u2014 Opti-Behavior detects what kind of site you run (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, blog\/content, lead generation, signup, membership, LMS, booking) and suggests ready-made funnels on the Funnels page, with one-click creation, a \"Set up recommended funnels\" bulk action, and a \"Customize\" path that opens the normal builder pre-filled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> Suggested funnel steps resolve their URLs through each source plugin's own API, so localized slugs (<code>\/panier\/<\/code>, <code>\/commander\/<\/code>, <code>\/kasse\/<\/code>) are used as-is. Funnels record where they came from (<code>source<\/code> \/ <code>recipe_id<\/code>) so re-scanning never creates duplicates, and a \"Re-scan site\" button plus a per-card Dismiss keep the list under your control. New <code>opti_behavior_funnel_site_context<\/code>, <code>opti_behavior_funnel_recipes<\/code> and <code>opti_behavior_funnel_recipe_steps<\/code> filters and an <code>opti_behavior_funnel_created<\/code> action for developers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature:<\/strong> With Opti-Behavior Pro, a funnel created from a suggestion is backfilled from your existing session history so it opens with real numbers, alongside Pro-tier recipes, data-driven \"discovered\" funnels and a weekly automatic re-scan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changed:<\/strong> The insight detail modal is readable again \u2014 it lists only the reports you can actually open (the rest collapse behind one line), caps recommended actions at three and reconciles their wording against those reports, shows the measured probe-ranked causes with their values, and drops the empty placeholder sections. Traffic-source insights of the same signal collapse into a single list card, and the weekly CRO summary opens with the three costliest issues instead of a count.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changed:<\/strong> Smart Insights opens on Last 3 Months by default (new period option), and the Suggested Funnels panel collapses to a one-line summary (\"2 new \u00b7 8 created\") once you have funnels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changed:<\/strong> Scheduled cleanup no longer stalls on spam-heavy sites. Spam, bot and automated sessions are an exempt class the daily tier purges unconditionally within its per-run cap, the mass-delete safety limit is measured on the non-spam rules against the non-spam session count only, and a tripped limit produces a logged partial run instead of cancelling the whole run. New <code>opti_behavior_cleanup_spam_bypasses_safety_limit<\/code> escape hatch, and Cleanup History collapses repeated identical entries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changed:<\/strong> Scheduled cleanup \"Maximum sessions per run\" default raised from 5000 to 50000 \u2014 installs still on the old default are migrated once, custom values are preserved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Changed:<\/strong> All funnel and user-journey admin messages are translatable; all 5 locale catalogs were refreshed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Report links now arrive already filtered. Opening a report from an insight used to land on an unfiltered view: the Analytics dashboard applies the incoming device, browser, country, OS, traffic source, campaign, medium, channel, visitor-type and entry\/exit-page parameters to its first data request, funnel links open the funnel they name on the window the insight was measured on, internal segment keys are decoded to the values the reports really filter on, and device values match regardless of case.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Concurrent first-visit tracking requests could return HTTP 500 through a visitor\/session insert race.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Previous-period trends were empty on every insight \u2014 the previous window inherited the current window's minimum-sessions filter, device insights were never given a previous period, and Pro-produced error, form and segment insights were skipped entirely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Funnel insights offered no session recordings and site-wide error or friction insights were collapsed as \"not applicable\"; both now open the exact scope they were measured on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> \"Direct\" was missing from the Form Analytics referrer filter options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Heatmap detail applies a desktop viewport floor, so a narrow reference width no longer selects a mobile or tablet breakpoint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix:<\/strong> \"Could not load funnel suggestions\" on busy, memory-constrained hosts \u2014 funnel requests now raise the admin memory limit like the rest of the admin, and the suggestions panel retries its first load once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.8.3 - 2026-08-27<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Filter Profiles \u2014 save a named set of advanced-filter values (Visitor, Session, Pages &amp; Traffic, UTM) and reuse it across the Analytics Dashboard, Funnels, and Pro screens. Save \/ Edit control sits next to Apply \/ Reset; date range is never stored.<\/li>\n<li>Added: configurable cache purge after funnel modification. New Funnels setting to purge all page caches on every save\/delete\/status change (default) or never. With \"Never\", cached pages keep the old funnel config until the cache expires. Per-mutation override via the new <code>opti_behavior_should_purge_cache<\/code> filter (receives the action and funnel ID).<\/li>\n<li>Added: schema parity for Pro's Error Tracking visitor filters. Error, friction, and performance tables now store visitor country; friction and performance also store OS. Existing rows are backfilled. Data-model change only \u2014 no free-side behavior change.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: cached-page visitor merging \u2014 anonymous visitor and session IDs baked into cached HTML made every direct visitor count as one visitor in one session. Identity is now recomputed server-side on each (uncached) tracking request, preserving cookieless privacy.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: cached-page traffic under-counting \u2014 a stale baked nonce caused bounce visits to go unrecorded. The page-view\/session-start request now re-sends once with the fresh nonce, and click batches queued during a refresh are preserved.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: cached-page funnel under-counting \u2014 with two or more active funnels, a stale nonce silently dropped every step past the first. Funnel tracking now refreshes the nonce once and re-sends each step.<\/li>\n<li>Changed: lockstep release keeping free and Pro version numbers in sync with Pro's Error Tracking filter enhancement. Free-side change is limited to a shared filter-ui stylesheet sync.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.8.2 - 2026-08-16<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: re-architected, user-configurable data retention \u2014 set your own tiered retention periods so the plugin auto-manages storage, keeps the database lean and stops resource\/space bloat, all from a rebuilt Smart Cleanup screen.<\/li>\n<li>New: visitor-segment filtering \u2014 slice dashboard stats and every heatmap page by visitor type and attributes, so you can read behavior per segment.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: heatmap list and detail pages now scale to 500K+ recording files, with faster heatmap table loading on large datasets.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: heatmap session totals are now consistent across the list, filters and detail page (the reset floor is applied everywhere).<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: redesigned heatmap detail page \u2014 filter option counts scoped to the hero session set, detail date inputs synced with the presets, and a more compact stats layout.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: never-synced pages are merged into the heatmap fast path instead of forcing a full scan.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: cache poisoning \u2014 bot and IP exclusion moved from asset enqueue to data ingest, so cached pages no longer skew stats.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: session-duration over-accumulation and spam-excluded average session time.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: A\/B variant filters are treated as advanced result filters, and stale\/under-counted filter options under A\/B variant scope are corrected.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: simplified the sessions pill tooltip to single-number semantics.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: Top Pages widget redesigned with a stacked layout; the Top Engaged Users table now fills the widget height instead of a fixed 380px cap.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: on large sites, upgrading could make the site unreachable \u2014 heavy database migrations and index builds now run in the background (one step per cron tick, resumable), never in a web or AJAX request.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: the storage stats tab now loads asynchronously to stop long blank-page waits.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: debug mode auto-disables after 3 hours and debug JavaScript is no longer loaded when debug is off.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: the Admin Language setting had no effect on WordPress 6.7+ \u2014 translations now load through WordPress's standard pipeline, with a new \"Same as WordPress\" default, and all locale catalogs were refreshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.8.1 - 2026-08-01<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: Bug in the last update that stopped the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.8.0 - 2026-08-01<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Interactive heatmap preview \u2014 click to expand accordions, menus, popups and other collapsed elements directly inside the preview, with clicks anchored to their element and redrawn correctly as it's shown\/hidden. Preview now also renders at the selected device's real viewport width (mobile\/tablet\/desktop), so heatmaps match the actual responsive layout.<\/li>\n<li>New: IP exclusion setting to exclude specified addresses from tracking.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: Guest preview iframe AJAX\/REST requests failed nonce checks by running with admin cookies instead of the guest context.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: Tracker assets are cache-busted\/versioned with the plugin version, and the anon broker script is registered in the optimizer-compat registry so cache\/optimizer plugins never delay it.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement: Filter-bar buttons on the heatmap page aligned to filter select height; \"All devices\" view reprojects anchored clicks onto the current layout for consistent hotspots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.7.2 - 2026-07-15<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Smart Insights now show when each signal was detected (relative time with exact date on hover), and saving Traffic Classification settings no longer resets \"Track admin users\".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.7.1 - 2026-07-12<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Major cache\/optimizer compatibility release: unified exclusion layer, early-click capture queue, tracker heartbeat warning, A\/B nonce auto-refresh and retries, funnel exact-match and analytics fixes, and ~90% fewer admin-ajax requests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.7.0 - 2026-07-04<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Analytics dashboard and Heatmaps performance rebuild for large sites (parallel cached widgets, collapsible sections, indexed heatmap aggregates) plus a User Intent classification fix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Earlier versions<\/h4>\n\n<p>The complete changelog for all versions is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/changelog\/\">optiuser.com\/opti-behavior\/changelog\/<\/a> (also shipped as changelog.txt in the plugin folder).<\/p>","raw_excerpt":"Self-hosted heatmaps, funnels, A\/B WooCommerce testing, behavior analytics &amp; Smart Insights for WordPress.
