Health checks, alerts and site icons. Fixes skipped weekly emails, stops counting signed in editors, counts iCloud Private Relay readers, collects faster. Icons and Apple's relay list now download in the background, with switches in Settings. Settings and the shared link are kept.<\/p>","1.4.0":"
Counts people only: data centre addresses, headless browsers and pages nobody interacted with are refused. Filtered Traffic rebuilt, click capture on, plain permalink and tablet sidebar fixes. Numbers may drop; Filtered at a Glance shows why.<\/p>","1.3.2":"
Your numbers will get smaller, and that is the fix. A pageview now has to render on screen and then show a sign of a person before it counts. What is left out is counted by name under Stats, so you can check it. Also stops the bot list refusing real browsers. Nothing recorded is changed.<\/p>","1.2.3":"
Fixes four faults that were inflating visitors and views, sometimes by an order of magnitude, and cleans the stored history in the background. Ranked reports now page and search on the server. Recommended for everyone.<\/p>","1.2.2":"
Adds an optional anonymous usage report, off by default. You are asked once, shown the exact payload first, and never asked again if you decline. Nothing about your visitors is ever included.<\/p>","1.2.1":"
Adds an on demand insights screen under Data that reports what actually moved in the selected period, exportable as CSV or JSON. Also adds an optional longer visitor recognition window for counting returning readers, off by default.<\/p>","1.2.0":"
Counts readers without JavaScript, survives a blocked REST route, and no longer drops Do Not Track readers on new installs. A page read now costs one request instead of two, and the beacon backs off when your host returns 429. Recommended if you see rate limiting.<\/p>","1.1.1":"
Deleting the plugin now keeps your settings, shared link and history by default, so updating by hand no longer wipes them. The AI screens are scoped to assistant traffic only, and authors, content types, assistants and campaigns can now be filtered on.<\/p>","1.1.0":"
Adds AI Visibility reporting and fixes Gemini being counted as organic search. Summaries are rebuilt on upgrade so past days are reclassified too.<\/p>","1.0.0":"

Most analytics tools count anything that runs JavaScript, so a self hosted counter can report several times the traffic a site really has. Screenshot services, uptime checks, SEO auditors and a growing crowd of AI agents all run a full browser now.\nConvertNow counts people. A pageview has to render on screen, then somebody has to move, scroll, tap, or stay for two seconds. It also has to come from somewhere people actually read from, not a cloud data center. Everything refused is kept, named, and shown to you under Filtered Traffic, never quietly dropped.<\/p>\n\n
AI and machine traffic, measured, not mixed in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Nobody else treats this as the main event. ConvertNow gives you a chart of people against machines, the pages GPTBot, ClaudeBot and the other crawlers read most, the assistants that actually send readers to you, what every refused request was and when it came, and a Proof of Presence report that shows what convinced the plugin each counted view was real. A crawler is never a visitor, and an assistant fetching a page on somebody's behalf is interest, not attendance.<\/p>\n\n Everything else you expect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Visitors, visits, views, real bounce rate and time on page. Pages, entry and exit pages, referrers, channels, campaigns, countries, languages, browsers, devices. Goals, funnels, journeys, retention, segments and cohorts. Traffic by author and content type. WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads revenue attributed to the visit behind it. A weekly email, a shareable read only dashboard, CSV and JSON export.<\/p>\n\n Runs on your own database<\/strong><\/p>\n\n No account, no key, no tier held back. The tracker inlines into the footer at about 1.5 KB. Raw hits roll up into daily summaries hourly, so a year of history costs the same queries as a day. Every chart is plain SVG.<\/p>\n\n Private by design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n No cookies, no localStorage, no persistent identifier. Visitors are a one way hash of IP, user agent and a salt that rotates daily, so nobody is followed past midnight. Raw IP addresses are never stored. Refused requests are stored as counters only: a date, an hour, a kind, a published name, a path on your site. Never an address.<\/p>\n\n Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Tracking, reporting, goals, funnels, journeys, retention, segments, cohorts, insights, alerts, country lookups and exports all run on your own server against your own database. There is no activation call, no licence check and no key. Nothing about your visitors ever leaves your site under any setting. The plugin makes the background requests below, and each one can be switched off.<\/p>\n\n Apple iCloud Private Relay exit list (on by default)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Once a week the plugin downloads Site icons (on by default)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n To show a referring site's icon beside its name, the plugin fetches that icon in the background from the site's own address (its home page and Alert webhook (off by default)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If you enter a webhook address under Settings, Alerts, each alert is posted to that address, and only to that address. The request carries the alert's title and sentence, your site's address and a link to the dashboard. Where it goes is the service you chose, under that service's own terms.<\/p>\n\n Anonymous usage reporting (off by default)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If, and only if, you switch this on, the plugin sends one report a month to convertnow.tools, the author's site, at It is off on every install. You are asked once, on the plugin's own screen, with the exact payload from your site shown to you before you decide. Declining is remembered permanently. If you never answer, nothing is ever sent. You can switch it on or off at any time in Settings, Data retention, Anonymous usage report, and switching it off removes the scheduled event immediately.<\/p>\n\n This is the complete payload, and there is nothing else in it:<\/p>\n\n It contains nothing about your visitors: no page paths, no referrers, no IP addresses, no visitor hashes, no user accounts, no email addresses, no post or page titles. The request is sent once every 30 days, non blocking, and a failure is silent.<\/p>\n\n Terms of service: convertnow.tools\/terms<\/a>. Privacy policy: convertnow.tools\/privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Requests to your own site<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The daily health check loads your own home page and posts a test beacon to your own collector, both at your own address. Nothing leaves your server.<\/p>\n\n The country lookup tables ship inside the plugin as plain text files and are read from disk. There is nothing to download and nothing to import.Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Both addresses reach the same inbox.
