Complete Settings &
Control
10 dedicated settings pages — fine-tune every aspect of your analytics, privacy, storage, scheduling, and data management. Full control, always on your server.
10 Settings Pages, Total Control
From privacy & GDPR compliance to traffic classification, storage monitoring, scheduled reports, and data cleanup — every setting is accessible from a clean, organized interface with 6 language options.
Privacy & GDPR
Choose between Anonymous Mode (no personal data stored) or Full Tracking. The consent banner integrates automatically with all major WordPress cookie plugins: Cookiebot, Complianz, CookieYes, Moove GDPR, Cookie Notice, Real Cookie Banner, Borlabs Cookie, and WP DSGVO Tools. When a visitor declines cookies, tracking is suppressed immediately — no extra configuration needed.
Heatmap & Recording Settings
Fine-tune heatmap tracking accuracy (High / Medium / Low), configure archive page support, and control URL hash handling for SPAs. For session recordings: enable/disable recording, set max recording duration, and configure privacy masking controls to automatically redact sensitive content. Each setting balances tracking detail with server resource usage.
Traffic Classification
Automatic bot detection rules, spam traffic filtering, and user intent scoring configuration. Define custom user-agent patterns to detect bots specific to your environment. All filtered traffic is excluded from every report automatically — keeping your analytics clean and accurate without manual intervention.
Scheduled Email Reports
Set up automated email reports delivered daily, weekly, or monthly. Configure custom SMTP settings for reliable delivery, define multiple recipients, and view recent report history to verify delivery status. Test emails instantly without waiting for the next scheduled run. Reports include key analytics KPIs and trend summaries.
Storage Overview
Monitor database and file storage usage per module. See exactly which data type consumes the most space: sessions, heatmaps, recordings, errors, journeys, or forms. Storage is broken down by table size, total records, and disk usage so you can make informed decisions about data retention and cleanup scheduling.
Danger Zone — Data Management
Full reset, delete by date range, smart data cleanup, and scheduled auto-cleanup. Smart cleanup identifies and removes spam, bot, and low-quality sessions using 3 configurable conditions: time-based (short sessions), quality-based (low-engagement visits), and visitor behavior (repeat bot patterns). Schedule auto-cleanup to run automatically — keeping your database lean without any manual effort.
Privacy & GDPR
Built-in compliance with automatic consent banner detection. Your visitors’ data never leaves your server.
Anonymous Mode
Zero personal data stored. Fully GDPR compliant by default. No consent banner needed.
Full Tracking
Capture everything when consent is given. Tracking suppressed immediately when visitors decline.
How It Works
Install & Activate
Install Opti-Behavior from WordPress.org or upload the plugin ZIP. Activate it and sensible default settings are applied automatically — tracking starts immediately with Anonymous Mode enabled by default for instant GDPR compliance.
Configure Privacy & Tracking
Navigate to Settings from the Opti-Behavior admin menu. All 10 settings pages are organized in clear tabs. Start with Privacy & GDPR to choose Anonymous Mode or Full Tracking and configure consent banner auto-detection. Then set bot detection rules and traffic classification to keep your analytics clean.
Set Up Reports & Language
Configure scheduled email reports (daily, weekly, or monthly) with custom SMTP settings for reliable delivery. Switch the admin interface to any of 6 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian) independently from your WordPress site language.
Monitor Storage & Schedule Cleanup
Use the Storage Overview page to monitor database and file usage per module. Set up smart auto-cleanup with 3 configurable conditions (time-based, quality-based, visitor behavior) to automatically remove low-quality sessions. Use the Danger Zone for manual full reset, date range deletion, or selective data cleanup when needed.
