Do I need a WordPress plugin to install TrackWhy?

No. You can easily insert the script tag directly into your theme's header.php. If you prefer using plugins, any simple header injection plugin works perfectly.

Will TrackWhy slow down my WordPress site?

No. Many analytics plugins log visits directly to your WordPress database, which slows down your site. TrackWhy runs entirely on our high-performance CDN and hosted server, adding zero load to your WordPress host.

How to Connect WordPress

Add cookieless, GDPR-compliant analytics to your WordPress site without plugins.

WordPress powers a massive portion of the web, but many WordPress analytics plugins insert bloated tracking code, database-heavy logging, and cookies that require complex, ugly consent banners.

TrackWhy offers a lightweight, plugin-free alternative for WordPress. By adding a single script tag to your header, you instantly gain a complete dashboard showing pageviews, referral paths, custom search queries, and conversion funnels — with zero database load on your hosting provider.

Because TrackWhy is fully cookieless and GDPR-compliant, you can safely remove the cookie consent banners that clutter your design and lower your conversion rates. Track every visitor accurately from day one.
