KD Tracking Connector for OpenPanel

KD Tracking Connector for OpenPanel connects your WordPress site to OpenPanel Analytics – a powerful, open-source alternative to Google Analytics that you can fully self-host.

No data sent to Google. No surprise tracking. Full control over where your visitor data lives.

This plugin works completely independent of your active theme and is configured entirely via Settings → OpenPanel in the WordPress admin.

Why OpenPanel?

• Open source – MIT-licensed, fully auditable source code
• Self-hostable – Your analytics data stays on your own server
• Cloud option – Use the official OpenPanel Cloud with zero setup
• Cookie-friendly – Basic page-view tracking works without cookies
• Google Analytics alternative – Real-time stats, custom events, session replay

Plugin Features

• Self-Hosted & Cloud – Enter your API URL for self-hosted, or leave empty for the official cloud
• Local Script Delivery – op1.js is served from the plugin folder, no external CDN request on page load
• Flexible Tracking – Page views, outgoing links and data-track HTML attribute tracking individually configurable
• Session Replay – Record mouse movements, scroll behaviour and clicks (optional, with input field masking)
• Privacy Controls – Honour Do Not Track (DNT), exclude logged-in users, disable tracking when WP_DEBUG is active
• Multilingual – Ships with German and English, fully translatable via .pot template
