README

A self-hosted, privacy-first analytics addon for Statamic. No Google. No third-party scripts. No cookies by default. Your data stays on your server.

Fork of mohammedshuaau/enhanced-analytics — significantly extended and refactored.

Why this addon?

Zero external tracking dependencies — no Google Analytics, no Matomo cloud, no Plausible cloud
Direct DB writes — every page view is recorded instantly, no processing queue needed for real-time data
GDPR-ready — built-in consent banner with granular controls (optional)
Self-hosted geolocation — IP → country/city via ip-api.com with local caching, no Google Maps

Configuration

config/statamic-analytics.php :

return [
    'geolocation' => [
        'cache_duration' => 1440, // minutes (24h)
        'rate_limit'     => 45,   // requests per minute (ip-api.com free tier)
    ],

    'processing' => [
        'frequency'    => 15, // minutes — aggregate recalculation frequency
        'lock_timeout' => 60,
    ],

    'dashboard' => [
        'refresh_interval' => 300, // seconds
    ],

    'tracking' => [
        'exclude_paths' => ['cp/*', 'api/*'],
        'exclude_ips'   => [],
        'exclude_bots'  => true,
        'track_authenticated_users' => true,
        'consent' => [
            'enabled' => false, // set to true to require visitor consent
            'banner'  => [
                'title'          => 'Privacy Notice',
                'description'    => 'We use analytics to understand how visitors use our site.',

            ],
        ],
    ],
];

Consent banner

When tracking.consent.enabled is true, tracking only starts after visitor consent.

Add to your Antlers layout:

{{ statamic_analytics:consent_banner }}
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token }}">

Publish and customize the template:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-analytics-views

Template location after publishing:

resources/views/vendor/statamic-analytics/components/consent-banner.antlers.html

Aggregate recalculation

The addon writes page views directly to the database on every request. A scheduled command recalculates aggregates (by country, device, browser, platform) for today and yesterday:

php artisan analytics:process

This runs automatically via Laravel Scheduler at the frequency defined in config. Make sure the scheduler is running:

* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Architecture

HTTP request
    └─ TrackPageVisit middleware
           └─ INSERT into statamic_analytics_page_views   ← direct, real-time

Scheduler (every N minutes)
    └─ analytics:process
           └─ DELETE + INSERT into statamic_analytics_aggregates
              (recalculated from page_views for today + yesterday)

Geolocation (IP → country/city) is resolved via ip-api.com and cached locally. No data is sent to Google or any tracking platform.
