What you get

Real analytics. Not vanity metrics.

Everything Google Analytics gives you, plus the per-visitor depth they never could.

Live traffic dashboard

Page views, unique visitors, top pages, hourly heatmaps. The metrics you actually open analytics to see.

Per-visitor profiles

Click any session — see their full journey, every click, scroll depth, device fingerprint, second-by-second timeline.

Auto click tracking

Phone, email, WhatsApp links auto-tracked with zero setup. Add data-psl-track for any custom button.

UTM attribution

Sticky cookie-based attribution lasts 30 days. Know which campaign earned the conversion — even on the 5th visit.

Privacy by default

Auto-creates a privacy policy page. Cookie consent banner. "Decline" actually works — nothing tracked at all.

Stays fast

Tracker is <3 KB, deferred. Works with WP Rocket, W3TC, all caching plugins. Zero performance hit.

Questions

Frequently asked.

If we missed yours, email hello@pulsely.io.

How does the 48-hour free trial work?

Download and install the plugin — the trial starts on activation. You get full access to every feature for 48 hours. After that, the dashboard locks until you enter a license key. Your historical data is preserved either way.

Why a subscription instead of one-time payment?

We chose monthly because it lets us keep building and shipping new features (CSV export, email digests, conversion goals, A/B testing) without ever asking you to upgrade to a paid tier. Cancel anytime — no contracts.

Can I use one license on multiple sites?

Each license activates one WordPress site. To use Pulsely on a second site, either deactivate from the first (Pulsely → License → Deactivate) or buy a second subscription. Multi-site bundle discounts coming soon.

Where is my visitor data stored?

In a single table (wp_pulsely_activity) inside your own WordPress database. Nothing is ever sent to Pulsely's servers — only your license key is checked against our server, every 7 days, and that check sends only {key, your-domain.com}.

Does it slow down my site?

No. The tracker is <3 KB of vanilla JavaScript loaded with defer — it only fires after the page renders. Each event is a single indexed insert. We've measured zero impact on Lighthouse scores.

Will it work with my caching plugin?

Yes. We've tested with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache, and Cloudflare. The tracker runs in the browser, not on the server, so cached pages still track correctly.

What happens if I cancel?

Your subscription stays active until the end of your current billing period. After that, the plugin locks but keeps your data safe. Resubscribe anytime to pick up where you left off.

Do you offer refunds?

If Pulsely doesn't work for you, email us within 14 days of subscribing for a full refund. No questions asked.
