外掛說明
SteClick Counter is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you track link clicks by doing just one thing:
adding a simple prefix to your existing URLs.
No complex setup. No external analytics services. No external libraries.
To start tracking clicks, simply add the prefix /?tag=XXX&to= before the URL you want to track.
The plugin logs the click and immediately redirects the visitor to the destination.
This makes SteClick Counter ideal for tracking:
– Download buttons
– PDF links
– Embedded content
– External links and call-to-action buttons
Key Benefits:
* Simple Prefix System: No configuration required. Just add /?tag=XXX&to= to any link and start tracking instantly.
* Lightweight & Fast: No external libraries, no extra HTTP requests, and no performance impact on your site.
* Bot & fraudulent-count protection: Filters out bots and automated requests using UA signature matching, header mismatch detection, and JS-execution verification.
* Database Lean: Uses the file system for logging instead of creating database tables.
* Privacy-First: No cookies and no third-party services, all tracking data stays on your own server.
How It Works
To track a link, prepend the /?tag=XXX&to= prefix to the original URL.
Original URL:
https://example.com/document.pdf
Tracked URL:
/?tag=doc-01&to=https://example.com/document.pdf
Tracking a download link (HTML example)
You can also track download buttons or links by modifying the href attribute.
Original HTML:
<a href=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip”>Download ZIP file</a>
Tracked HTML:
<a href=”/?tag=zip01&to=https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sample.zip”>Download ZIP file</a>
When a visitor clicks a tracked link, SteClick Counter records:
– The timestamp
– Your custom tag
– The destination URL
– The referrer (source page)
You can view all click statistics in Settings SteClick Counter.

變更記錄
1.0.4
- Added: Clicks are now only counted when the frontend link-rewriting script has actually run in the visitor’s browser, filtering out non-JavaScript automated requests (crawlers, monitors, direct URL scanners) even when they present browser-like User-Agent strings.
- Fixed: Log writes now use exclusive file locking to prevent data loss from concurrent requests (e.g. traffic bursts from scanners) racing on the read-modify-write of the log file.
- Fixed: The log table header now stays fixed in place while scrolling through log entries, instead of scrolling away with the content.
1.0.3
- Added: Basic User-Agent based filtering to exclude common bots, crawlers, and link-preview services from click counts.
1.0.2
- Improved: Referrer is now captured when links are opened in a new tab (
target="_blank").
1.0.1
- Added: Inline script on the frontend to automatically rewrite relative
/?tag=XXX&to=hrefs to absolute URLs based on the site’s home URL. - Fixed:
steclick_enqueue_url_fixer()now returns early on admin pages.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
