Koko Analytics is an open-source analytics plugin for WordPress that lets you collect basic traffic and event data entirely on your own server. It’s designed for site owners who want to own their data, avoid external tracking services, and comply with privacy-friendly standards (GDPR, CCPA). 

Highlights include:

  • Instant plug-and-play setup: activate the plugin and stats begin recording right away. 
  • All data is stored locally — no external services, no third-party tracking. 
  • Lightweight: the tracking script is under 500 bytes and built to perform well even with caching. 
  • Privacy-first: visitors aren’t individually tracked, cookies are optional, and only aggregated metrics are stored. 
  • Pro version (optional) adds custom event tracking, export, email reports, pageviews in admin lists and more. 

For WordPress site owners looking for a simpler, self-hosted analytics alternative, Koko Analytics provides solid, privacy-conscious support without the overhead of large external platforms.

How Conversion Bridge Works with Koko Analytics

With Conversion Bridge installed, you can send rich, custom event data from your WordPress site — including from any of the 61 plugin integrations — into Koko Analytics for additional insights.

Koko Analytics requires custom events be setup before they can be tracked. Conversion Bridge handles this step to make tracking even easier.

Why Tracking Conversions in Koko Analytics Matters

By enhancing Koko Analytics with your site’s bespoke event data, you gain more than just pageviews and basic visits — you capture the important events users must take in order for your site to be successful giving you additional insights into what is and isn't working.

For site owners who prioritise privacy, self-hosting, or data ownership, the combo of Conversion Bridge + Koko Analytics provides a clean, scalable path: you stay within WordPress, avoid external dependencies, and still capture meaningful conversion data.
