Quantely Activity

Description

Quantely Activity is a lightweight, privacy-conscious plugin that records visitor activity (pageviews and interactions).

It helps site owners understand what is happening on their website for monitoring, diagnostics, performance checks, and analytics validation. It also makes this data available to downstream analytics tools.

Quantely Activity runs fully on-site, uses no external services, stores data only briefly, supports cookie-free operation, does not depend on JavaScript, and does not store plain IP addresses.

Key features

Robust traffic monitoring

Quantely Activity captures activity reliably under imperfect conditions.

• Server-side pageview capture (always-on baseline)
• Optional browser signals (clicks, forms, engagement)
• Server-side event capture from plugins, including WooCommerce
• Server and browser alignment via pv_id
• Receive-order recording with preserved origin metadata
• Lightweight deduplication of duplicate signals

Traffic context

Each hit is enriched with context for interpretation and downstream use.

• UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.)
• Click IDs (e.g. gclid, fbclid)
• Channel classification (email, paid, social, ai, search, referral, direct, internal)
• Visitor continuity via cookies and derived identifiers

Engagement signals

Engagement is captured efficiently using milestone-based signals.

• One maximum engagement value per pageview
• Fibonacci-based milestones (2–89 seconds)
• No continuous timers or heavy scripts

Internal traffic filtering

Internal or irrelevant traffic can be excluded without losing visibility.

• Role-based exclusions (e.g. admins)
• IP-based exclusions
• Path-based exclusions
• Hits remain visible but are marked (is_excluded)

Bot filtering

Automated traffic is detected and classified at capture time.

• is_nonhuman, bot_label, bot_reason
• Detection based on patterns, endpoints, and behavior
• Reclassification possible as patterns emerge

Privacy

Designed to minimize data exposure and keep control local.

• No plain IP storage
• Short retention window
• GPC / DNT support
• No external tracking services
• Data stored fully on-site

Integrations

Captured data is structured so other tools can use it.

• Activity data can feed downstream analytics tools
• Events remain connected to their original page context
• Compatible with analytics and processing workflows

Quantely Activity exposes a small developer API for integrations and downstream processing.

• qmon_hit_before_insert — Filter a normalized hit array before it is stored.
• qmon_hit_recorded — Action fired after a hit has been stored. This is the main integration point for forwarding or persisting captured records.
• qmon_event_normalize — Filter a normalized event payload before it is finalized.
• qmon_event_db_dedupe_window_sec — Filter the database deduplication window for events.
• qmon_bot_verdict — Filter the bot-classification verdict before it is finalized.
