Title: PineCount – Analytics, Page Views, Live Visitors, AdSense Author: Ritesh Published: 2026-09-26 Last modified: 2026-09-26 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/pinecount/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3714823) ![](https://ps.w.org/pinecount/assets/icon.svg?rev=3714812) # PineCount – Analytics, Page Views, Live Visitors, AdSense By [Ritesh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/riteshx100/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/pinecount.1.0.2.zip) * [Details](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/pinecount/#description) * [Reviews](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/pinecount/#reviews) * [Installation](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/pinecount/#installation) * [Development](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/pinecount/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pinecount/) ## Description PineCount records pageviews in your site’s own database and shows them in a clean dashboard inside wp-admin. Nothing is sent to a third-party analytics service. It works with full-page caching: a small script reports each pageview from the browser, so cached pages are counted too. **What you get** * Pageviews, visitors, sessions and views per visit, by hour, day, week or month. * Top pages, entry pages, referrers, traffic sources, devices and on-site searches. * Comparison with the previous period. * A dashboard widget and an admin bar counter for today’s numbers. * Optional live visitors, using the Redis server your object cache already uses. * Optional Google AdSense earnings, page views, RPM and CTR next to your traffic. * A read-only REST API, protected by a key you generate, for pulling reports into other tools. * Data retention from 30 days to 5 years, and excluded paths with wildcards. **Privacy** * No cookies and no persistent visitor ID. A visitor is identified only by a hash of their IP address and browser, mixed with a secret salt that changes every day, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next. The IP address itself is never stored. * Sessions use the browser’s per-tab session storage, which is cleared when the tab closes. * Logged-in users are not tracked unless you turn that on. * You can honour the browser’s Do Not Track signal from the settings. * All data stays in your WordPress database. ### External services This plugin connects to Google only if you choose to connect Google AdSense in its settings. Until you do, it makes no external requests. **Google OAuth** (accounts.google.com, oauth2.googleapis.com) is used to authorise read-only access to your AdSense account. * When you click “Connect with Google”, your browser goes to Google’s sign-in page with your OAuth client ID. * After you approve, the plugin sends your OAuth client ID, client secret and the authorisation code to Google to get a refresh token. The token is stored encrypted in your database. * Before each report request, the plugin sends the client ID, client secret and refresh token to get a short-lived access token. * When you click “Disconnect”, the refresh token is sent to Google to be revoked. **Google AdSense Management API** (adsense.googleapis.com) is used to read your earnings. * While connected, the plugin requests today’s estimated earnings, page views and clicks for your site every 10 minutes, and the last 7 days once a day, so Google’s later corrections are picked up. * It also lists your AdSense accounts and sites once when you connect, to find the site that matches this website. * Only your access token and the account and site IDs are sent. No visitor data is ever sent to Google.

Install the plugin from the Plugins screen, or upload the `pinecount` folder to`/ wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate it. Tracking starts straight away. 3. Open **Analytics** in the admin menu to see your dashboard, and **Analytics Settings** to adjust tracking, retention and the optional features. **Live visitors (optional)** Live visitors need a Redis server. The plugin reads the same `WP_REDIS_*` constants in `wp-config.php` that the Redis Object Cache plugin uses, so if your object cache already runs on Redis there is nothing else to set up. **Google AdSense (optional)** 1. In Google Cloud, create an OAuth client of type “Web application” and enable the AdSense Management API. 2. Add the redirect URI shown in **Analytics Settings AdSense** to that client. 3. Paste the client ID and secret into the settings, save, and click **Connect with Google**. ## FAQ ### Does it work with page caching? Yes. Pageviews are reported from the browser, so pages served from a cache are still counted. ### Does it use cookies? No. See the Privacy section above. ### Where is the data stored? In five tables in your WordPress database, prefixed `pinecount_`. You choose how long raw pageviews are kept. ### What happens when I delete the plugin? By default, deleting the plugin removes its tables and settings. Turn off “Delete all data on uninstall” in the settings if you want to keep them. ### Is there an API? Yes. Generate a key in the settings, then send it in the `X-PineCount-Key` header. The full reference is under **Analytics Settings API**. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PineCount – Analytics, Page Views, Live Visitors, AdSense” is open source software.
