Hi, you want to replace the ( with [ at the beginning of the shortcode.

Hi, we are working on restoring this feature with new bundles and offers. In the meanwhile, please feel free to contact us at https://support.wp-slimstat.com and we’ll do our best to help you.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi, Slimstat dev team here. We’re resuming the development of this plugin after a long hiatus. Part of the issue with performance seems related to the new fingerprint feature that was introduced in one of the most recent versions. On our to-do list we have the option to deactivate fingerprinting, which requires quite a few resources especially on mobile devices. We’re also going to release 4.9 here on the WP repo soon.

Thank you for your feedback!

Jason

Ok great!

Jason

Would you be available to test the new version?

Jason

If that user came from a search engine result page, then it would be one color, but if it’s coming from another page, then it will be blue.

As for the bounce rate, it is calculated as the percentage of single-page visits over the total amount of visits. Given that a visit is (by default) considered by a 30-minute session (unless you customize this value in the settings), it doesn’t matter if that user was coming from a search engine or not.

I hope this helps,
Jason

Ok, please contact me at https://support.wp-slimstat.com and I’ll send you the instructions.

Jason

Fair enough. I’m still convinced it’s the fingerprinting algorithm. Would you like to help me test the difference between a script with and one without that feature?

Jason

By the way, on our clean vanilla install with Slimstat enabled, we get better results:

Have you tried deactivating the CDN option under Settings > Tracker to see if things improve?

Best,
Jason

Hi guys,

I wonder if this is related to the new fingerprinting feature that we recently introduced in Slimstat. Would you be available to run a few tests for me with a modified tracker that I could send you? If so, please contact me at https://support.wp-slimstat.com

Thank you,
Jason

Hi @bluebit

When Slimstat is configured to work in Client Mode, all the computation needed to record a new pageview is done AFTER the page is sent to the browser, so you should not see any noticeable impact on your site’s performance. Can you try deactivating both Browscap and Maxmind in Slimstat > Settings > Maintenance, and see if that makes any difference? Also, what version of PHP do you have on your server?

Jason

PS: next time, please start your own thread, as it makes it easier for me to track these requests.

Thank you both, I’m looking into it.

I see. The easiest way would be to add the corresponding CSS to your theme, so that even when the slimstat css code is not loaded because of adblockers preventing the browser from loading it, then it still renders correctly. Would that work for you?

I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand the issue. Everything looks normal. If you want to hide the percentages etc, you can do that by adding some lines to your CSS file. I can give you more info on how to do that, if needed.

Jason

You’re very welcome!
