Opti-Behavior Core changelog

Analytics, heatmaps, funnels, settings, privacy, performance, compatibility and WordPress.org package updates.

v1.8.2

2026-08-16
  • New: re-architected, user-configurable data retention — set your own tiered retention periods so the plugin auto-manages storage, keeps the database lean and stops resource/space bloat, all from a rebuilt Smart Cleanup screen.
  • New: visitor-segment filtering — slice dashboard stats and every heatmap page by visitor type and attributes, so you can read behavior per segment.
  • Enhancement: heatmap list and detail pages now scale to 500K+ recording files, with faster heatmap table loading on large datasets.
  • Fixed: heatmap session totals are now consistent across the list, filters and detail page (the reset floor is applied everywhere).
  • Enhancement: redesigned heatmap detail page — filter option counts scoped to the hero session set, detail date inputs synced with the presets, and a more compact stats layout.
  • Enhancement: never-synced pages are merged into the heatmap fast path instead of forcing a full scan.
  • Fixed: cache poisoning — bot and IP exclusion moved from asset enqueue to data ingest, so cached pages no longer skew stats.
  • Fixed: session-duration over-accumulation and spam-excluded average session time.
  • Fixed: A/B variant filters are treated as advanced result filters, and stale/under-counted filter options under A/B variant scope are corrected.
  • Enhancement: simplified the sessions pill tooltip to single-number semantics.
  • Enhancement: Top Pages widget redesigned with a stacked layout; the Top Engaged Users table now fills the widget height instead of a fixed 380px cap.
  • Fixed: on large sites, upgrading could make the site unreachable — heavy database migrations and index builds now run in the background (one step per cron tick, resumable), never in a web or AJAX request.
  • Enhancement: the storage stats tab now loads asynchronously to stop long blank-page waits.
  • Enhancement: debug mode auto-disables after 3 hours and debug JavaScript is no longer loaded when debug is off.
  • Fixed: the Admin Language setting had no effect on WordPress 6.7+ — translations now load through WordPress's standard pipeline, with a new "Same as WordPress" default, and all locale catalogs were refreshed.

v1.8.1

2026-08-02
  • Fix: Bug in the last update that stopped the plugin.

v1.8.0

2026-08-01
  • New: Interactive heatmap preview — click to expand accordions, menus, popups and other collapsed elements directly inside the preview, with clicks anchored to their element and redrawn correctly as it’s shown/hidden. Preview now also renders at the selected device’s real viewport width (mobile/tablet/desktop), so heatmaps match the actual responsive layout.
  • New: IP exclusion setting to exclude specified addresses from tracking.
  • Fix: Guest preview iframe AJAX/REST requests failed nonce checks by running with admin cookies instead of the guest context.
  • Enhancement: Tracker assets are cache-busted/versioned with the plugin version, and the anon broker script is registered in the optimizer-compat registry so cache/optimizer plugins never delay it.
  • Enhancement: Filter-bar buttons on the heatmap page aligned to filter select height; “All devices” view reprojects anchored clicks onto the current layout for consistent hotspots.

v1.7.2

2026-07-16
  • Enhancement: Smart Insights notification cards, the Smart Insights center list, and the insight detail footer now show when each signal was detected as a relative time ("4 hours ago") with the exact localized date and time on hover.
  • Fix: Saving Traffic Classification settings no longer resets the "Track admin users" preference — the admin tracking setting saved on the same tab is now preserved instead of being silently re-enabled.

v1.7.1

2026-07-12
  • Feature: Added a tracker heartbeat detection layer — if site traffic keeps flowing but no heatmap/funnel/A/B events arrive for six hours, a dismissible admin notice identifies the caching or optimization plugin most likely blocking the trackers, with a link to the fix guide.
  • Feature: Added an early-event capture queue printed at the very top of the page, so clicks and interactions that happen before the (deferred or delayed) tracker script loads are buffered and replayed instead of lost. Guarantees zero missed early clicks under WP Rocket "Delay JavaScript execution" and similar optimizers.
  • Enhancement: Centralized the cache and page-optimizer compatibility logic into a single `Opti_Behavior_Optimizer_Compat` layer, replacing the duplicated exclusion rules that lived across the heatmap, funnel, and Pro tracking classes.
  • Enhancement: Unified the tracking script-tag protection attributes (`nowprocket`, `data-cfasync="false"`, `data-no-optimize`, `data-no-defer`, `data-noptimize`, `data-jetpack-boost="ignore"`) so every self-hosted tracker is shielded consistently from JS minify, combine, defer, and delay optimizations.
  • Enhancement: Registered verified optimizer exclusion filters — WP Rocket (minify/combine, defer, deferred and combined inline JS), SiteGround Optimizer (handle-based combine and inline combine), Perfmatters (defer and minify), WP-Optimize (URL-substring minify), Jetpack Boost (concatenation), LiteSpeed Cache (defer), W3 Total Cache (tag minification), and Breeze (aggregation) — all fed from the shared protected-scripts registry for zero-config coverage.
  • Enhancement: A/B tracking batches now retry up to 3 times with backoff on network or HTTP failure (nonce re-read on every retry), and expired security nonces are transparently refreshed with one retry, so conversions recorded on long-cached pages are no longer rejected. Server-side unique keys keep retries idempotent.
  • Enhancement: A/B variant assignment now also sets a companion `opti_ab_v` cookie registered with WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache dynamic-cookie/vary lists, so variant-specific caching stays correct.
  • Enhancement: Preview and editor requests now set cache-bypass constants (`DONOTCACHEPAGE`, `DONOTROCKETOPTIMIZE`) so page previews are never optimized or cached.
  • * Enhancement: Activating or deactivating the plugin now purges all known full-page caches (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Cache Enabler, Hummingbird, SiteGround Optimizer, Autoptimize), so stale cached HTML never keeps serving trackers that no longer match the plugin state. Page caches are also purged when funnels change, so new funnels start tracking on cached pages immediately.
  • Performance: Cut per-visitor admin-ajax request volume by roughly 90% through consolidated tracker batching and reduced flush frequency, stopping site-wide slowdowns on busy sites.
  • Fix: WP Rocket minify/combine and defer exclusion patterns were emitted as self-delimited regexes that never matched once WP Rocket joined and re-wrapped them; they are now bare regex fragments, restoring tracker exclusion under "Minify/Combine JavaScript" and "Defer JavaScript".
  • Fix: SiteGround Optimizer exclusion filters now receive script handles (previously filenames, which never matched), and WP-Optimize filters now receive URL substrings only — both silently ineffective before. Removed a Jetpack Boost render-blocking filter that does not exist in the plugin; concatenation exclusion via `js_do_concat` remains and is verified.
  • Fix: Funnel "Exact match" steps compared the full page URL against the stored path pattern with raw string equality, so path-only patterns (e.g. `/checkout/`) never matched and conversions silently recorded zero. Matching is now a normalized comparison (scheme/host aware, trailing-slash and case insensitive, fragments ignored, query compared only when the pattern includes one), mirrored in PHP and JS.
  • Fix: Funnels analytics queried the wrong sessions table and columns, so funnel reports could undercount or miss sessions entirely.
  • Fix: A new funnel did not appear in the dashboard until a manual page refresh.
  • Fix: Pages with an active A/B test send `Cache-Control: no-store` and set `DONOTCACHEPAGE`, so page caches and CDNs never serve stale variant HTML or expired nonces.
  • Fix: Element A/B variant changes never rendered for non-`#id` selectors (class, attribute, or path selectors); all valid CSS selectors now apply.
  • Fix: The A/B unload flush stayed disarmed after the first tab switch, dropping conversions recorded near the end of a visit.
  • Fix: With the Pro add-on deactivated, the heatmap dashboard showed no data when "Exclude spam traffic" was on — the spam allow-list depended on a table only Pro populates. It now also accepts equivalent evidence from the free tracker's own pageview records, so free-only installs keep full heatmap visibility with identical spam/bot/duration gates.
  • Fix: The heatmap tracker crashed when optimization plugins delayed script execution; it now initializes safely regardless of load order.
  • Fix: Heatmap overlays failed on very tall pages in Firefox due to the browser canvas area cap; rendering now respects the cap and stays visible.
  • Fix: `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` statements caused dbDelta fatals under W3 Total Cache database caching; table creation is now dbDelta-safe.
  • Fix: Empty page titles are backfilled from tracked data and orphan URL-less page stubs are removed, so pages stop showing as "Untitled Page".
  • Maintenance: Safer data-cleanup defaults for new and updated installs — scheduled cleanup now runs daily (was weekly), the short-session cleanup rule is now "shorter than 5s, older than 1 day" (was 2s/30 days), and the spam duration threshold is now 3s (was 10s). Existing installs receive the new defaults once after update.

v1.7.0

2026-07-04
  • Performance: Rebuilt the Analytics dashboard and Heatmaps page for large sites — parallel cached widgets, four collapsible sections, chart rendered from the shared stats payload, and pre-computed indexed heatmap aggregates. Cold loads drop from ~35–50s to seconds; all displayed numbers are identical and live.
  • Fix: Rewrote the User Intent query to drop a fan-out join that corrupted intent classification, and resolved dashboard load races (duplicate widget AJAX, chips stuck on "—", stuck chart spinner).
  • Enhancement: Redesigned the collapsible section headers and added a heatmap schema migration plus a `tools/backfill-heatmap-aggregates.php` pre-warm script.
  • Compliance: Passed the WordPress.org Plugin Check with no warnings; bumped to 1.7.0 and synced the Pro add-on to the same version. No data changes.

v1.6.5

2026-06-28
  • Feature: Added a per-step session-recording replay deep-link to the Funnel report so you can jump straight from a funnel step into the matching recordings, plus Funnel page layout improvements.
  • Enhancement: Completed admin-interface translations for French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Italian so all menus, settings, dashboards, tables, KPI labels, and popups are fully localized.
  • Fix: Scroll heatmap now shows true scroll reach — the cumulative percentage of sessions that scrolled to each depth (100% at the top, fading down) instead of a viewport-stop dwell density that duplicated the Attention heatmap.
  • Fix: Corrected scroll-reach aggregation to be session-aware and monotonic, seeded the top band at 100%, and fixed parser normalized-data detection and a viewport double-count. Click, Move, and Attention heatmaps are unchanged.
  • Fix: Restored Heatmap Detail filters that returned empty on the "All Devices" view.
  • Fix: Corrected Heatmap Detail filter country flags and browser icons, plus related detail/list UI issues.
  • Fix: Improved the Heatmap "Delete Heatmap Data" flow so the confirmation notice stays visible and the current view is preserved after deletion.

v1.6.4

2026-06-25
  • Fix: Corrected the Dashboard “vs previous period” trend for Bounce Rate, Average Session Duration, and Average Scroll Depth so it compares against real previous-period values instead of always showing 0%.
  • Fix: Restored the missing Bounce Rate KPI sparkline so the card now renders its daily mini bar chart like the other KPI cards when spam filtering is enabled.
  • Fix: Improved the KPI sparkline hover tooltip so it appears fully above the hovered bar without being clipped or covering the card’s number and percentage.

v1.6.3

2026-06-21
  • Enhancement: Improved mobile display compatibility across Dashboard, Settings, Heatmap, Funnel, and A/B Testing admin screens with more responsive layouts and controls.
  • Fix: Improved Dashboard history/stat rendering for sparse datasets, Bounce Rate and daily_history metric arrays, widget date ranges, and Traffic Overview zero-origin behavior.
  • Fix: Refined Heatmap detail/list behavior with pending/loading feedback, multi-select filter consistency, average-time formatting, and metric alignment.
  • Security: Strengthened data-safety defaults around Smart Data Cleanup migrations and canonical spam-filtered analytics contracts so reports avoid unsafe or noisy traffic data.

v1.6.2

2026-06-14
  • Feature: Added Smart Insights to Scheduled Reports so report emails can include prioritized insight cards with current evidence, scope, and next-action summaries.
  • Fix: Aligned Scheduled Reports analytics queries with the Traffic Behavior spam-filter settings so report totals follow the same canonical filtering policy as the dashboard and Smart Insights.
  • Fix: Corrected multi-select behavior in the filter list so selected filters remain accurate and usable.

v1.2.8.1

2026-04-28
  • Fix: A/B Testing Visual Editor launchers now use native direct links for saved variants, preventing ad blockers and popup blockers from making Open Visual Editor appear broken.
  • Fix: Visual Editor Preview now uses a server-side save-and-redirect form flow instead of script-created popups, so preview opens reliably with unsaved changes.
  • Enhancement: Added regression coverage for popup-blocker-safe Visual Editor opening and preview behavior.

v1.2.8

2026-04-28
  • Feature: Added expanded A/B testing tools for page-split experiments, visual variant previews, winner application, and conversion goal tracking.
  • Feature: Added improved A/B test results reporting with impressions, conversions, conversion rate, and winner indicators.
  • Enhancement: Improved A/B attribution for page-split variant pages and cross-page goals so experiment results stay accurate across visitor journeys.
  • Maintenance: Prepared the Free plugin package metadata, version constants, readme stable tag, and changelog for the 1.2.8 release.

v1.2.7

2026-04-09
  • Feature: Selective data deletion in Danger Zone — 9 category checkboxes (Sessions, Visitors, Events, Heatmaps, Recordings, Traffic, Errors, Funnels, Forms) let users choose which data to delete instead of deleting everything
  • Enhancement: Select All / Deselect All toggle for quick category selectio
  • Fix: False-positive broken links — same-origin images and internal pages no longer flagged as "Blocked" when server blocks HEAD requests (LiteSpeed Cache, WAF). HEAD failures now fallback to GET verification before saving
  • Fix: Error source now shows actual JS file path instead of generic "admin-ajax.php" — uses call stack capture at fetch/XHR call time
  • Fix: Session recorder console.log/warn messages now gated behind the Debug & Logging "Enable JavaScript Debug Logging" setting — no more console spam on production sites
  • Enhancement: JS Errors page file links now show full URL on mouse hover (tooltip) and are clickable to open the source file directly
  • Enhancement: IMG resource error verification uses HEAD + GET fallback with _optiVerify flag to prevent XHR interceptor self-tracking

  • Fix: Added oversized-payload guard in session-recorder.js — warns when non-beacon payload exceeds 1 MB
  • Fix: PHP empty-events guard — rejects AJAX saves with no events when no DB row exists yet
  • Enhancement: Comprehensive debug logging in JS (FullSnapshot detection, save batch type distribution, server response) and PHP (error_log for event types, FullSnapshot presence, file save confirmation)
  • Fix: Removed console plugin from rrweb config to eliminate type-6 events and extra payload bulk

  • Feature: Rich banner styles — info, warning, success, promo, custom with configurable colors, images, and CTA buttons
  • Enhancement: Dismiss tracking stores timestamps for duration-based re-show logic with automatic migration from old format

2026-03-17
  • Feature: Server-side proxy for heatmap iframe loading — bypasses CDN-level X-Frame-Options restrictions (e.g., Hostinger) that block iframe embedding
