Site Statistics for Larapen
Built-in analytics for your platform. Track page views, visitors, traffic sources, and device breakdowns without sending data to third-party services.
Most analytics tools send your visitor data to external servers owned by ad-tech companies. The Larapen Stats add-on takes a different approach: all data stays on your own server. You get the insights you need: page views, unique visitors, traffic sources, popular content, and device breakdowns; without giving away your audience data to third parties. No tracking cookies, no cross-site tracking, no consent banner required in most jurisdictions. Just clean, useful metrics stored in your own database.
Clear Dashboards, Actionable Insights
The admin dashboard presents your traffic data through clean, interactive charts and tables. See trends over time, identify your most popular pages, understand where your visitors come from (referrers, search engines, direct traffic), and learn which devices and browsers they use. Filter by date range, compare periods, and export raw data as CSV for further analysis. Everything loads fast because the data is local; no API calls to external services.
Analytics That Respect Privacy
- Page View Tracking: Track page views across your entire site with lightweight, non-blocking JavaScript. See which pages get the most traffic, how long visitors stay, and which content performs best.
- Visitor Analytics: Distinguish unique visitors from repeat visits using privacy-friendly fingerprinting (no cookies). Track new vs. returning visitors and understand your audience growth over time.
- Traffic Sources: Identify where your visitors come from: search engines, social media, referral links, or direct visits. Understand which marketing channels drive the most traffic to your site.
- Device & Browser Breakdown: See which devices (desktop, mobile, tablet), operating systems, and browsers your visitors use. Optimize your site for the platforms that matter most to your audience.
- Interactive Charts: Visual dashboards with line charts, bar charts, and pie charts for traffic trends, top pages, referrer distribution, and device breakdowns. Filter by date range and compare periods.
- CSV Export: Export any report as CSV for offline analysis, client reporting, or integration with spreadsheet tools. Choose the date range and data dimensions to include in your export.
- Privacy-Friendly: No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal data collection. IP addresses are anonymized. In most jurisdictions, no cookie consent banner is needed since no tracking cookies are used.

Frequently Asked Questions About Site Statistics for Larapen
Everything you need to know about Site Statistics for Larapen before you buy.
For most sites, yes. The Stats add-on provides the core metrics that matter: page views, visitors, traffic sources, top pages, and device data. If you need advanced features like conversion funnels, event tracking, or e-commerce analytics, you may still benefit from a dedicated analytics platform. But for straightforward traffic insights without privacy concerns, the Stats add-on is often all you need.
No. The tracking script is extremely lightweight (under 2KB) and loads asynchronously, so it doesn't block page rendering. Data is sent via a non-blocking beacon request that has zero impact on user experience. The database writes are queued to avoid affecting page load times.
You control data retention. By default, raw visit data is retained for 12 months, but you can configure this in the add-on settings. Aggregated statistics (daily/monthly summaries) are kept indefinitely for historical trend analysis. A built-in cleanup command can be scheduled to automatically purge old raw data.
