GreenOrb Statistics - Self-hosted WordPress analytics that itemises bot traffic
by•
GreenOrb Statistics is a WordPress analytics plugin that keeps visitor data in your own database. It shows what your traffic is made of: known bots are filtered out, a daily scan flags visitors that behave like bots, and a receipt itemises what was removed. The free version includes live visitors, UTM campaigns, click tracking, visitor journeys and email reports, and can run with zero cookies. Pro adds WooCommerce reports, goals, form tracking, Core Web Vitals and Ask AI.

Hi, I've been building WordPress sites for clients from Ayr in Scotland since 2008.
I built GreenOrb Statistics because I wanted a stats plugin that would separate real visitors from bots, and show me what it had taken out. A lot of what reaches a website isn't a person at all: search engine crawlers, uptime monitors, scrapers.
So GreenOrb works like an itemised receipt. Known bots and automated browsers are filtered out, a daily scan flags visitors that behave like bots for you to review, and a filtered-traffic receipt shows what was taken out. Everything stays in your own WordPress database.
The free version on WordPress.org covers the everyday reports. Pro adds WooCommerce reports, goals, form tracking, Core Web Vitals and Ask AI, which answers questions about your traffic in plain English using your own AI key.
I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you've ever wondered how much of your own traffic is people.
