How to Measure WordPress Website Traffic

WordPress Statistics is a plugin that displays statistics on your website from either your default or custom statistics. Statistics are crucial to determining the success of a website. Therefore, it is essential that website administrators understand how their statistics look and work. Statistics can be used to determine whether certain changes need to be made to a site. In addition, statistics help with internal optimization and development. That's why it's important to understand how your site is performing and what you can do to improve it.

When you install the plugin, you will be asked to choose between two default options: default and custom. The default selection shows general statistics such as the number of comments, pages, posts, and users on your site. Custom selection allows you to add custom statistics such as the number of unique visitors and bounce rate. This way you can get an accurate idea of your site's performance using custom statistics. After selecting the preferences, the plugin will install on your WordPress dashboard and you're good to go!
