Frontend Stats Bar: enabling and reading it

1 min read

The Frontend Stats Bar puts the key numbers of the page you are viewing in a slim bar at the top of your site. Only administrators see it; visitors never do. Stats load asynchronously, so it does not slow the page.

Enable and style it #

Frontend Stats Bar settings: enable, hide in page builders, stats period and six colour themes with a live preview
Settings → Frontend Stats Bar.
  • Enable Stats Bar – show the bar on all front-end pages for administrators.
  • Hide in Page Builders – hides it inside Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Brizy, Oxygen, Breakdance, SiteOrigin, Visual Composer and Themify.
  • Stats Period – for example the last 30 days.
  • Color Theme – Dark, Light, Blue, Green, Purple or Orange, with a live preview.

Choose the numbers #

Visible stats: visitors, sessions, page views, average session time, scroll depth, bounce rate, and Pro stats recordings, JavaScript errors, friction events, form submissions
Pick which numbers appear.

Reading it #

  • Open a page while logged in: the bar shows that page’s numbers for the chosen period.
  • A period selector in the bar lets you switch quickly; icons link to the page’s heatmap and recordings.
  • Use it as a quick health check when you publish or edit content.

Expected result #

Logged in as admin, you see the bar on your pages; in a private window it is absent.

FAQ #

Can editors see it? #

No, only users who can manage Opti-Behavior.

The bar shows zero on a new page. #

Stats appear after the first tracked visits.

Does it affect cache? #

No. The bar is added for logged-in admins only, who usually bypass the page cache.
