What Is HivePress Statistics?
HivePress Statistics is developed by Hivepress and is a directory plugin for WordPress. It is widely used by the community to add analytical capabilities to listing websites, providing a data-driven approach to site management. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for marketplace owners.
The extension solves the problem of listing owners not knowing how much traffic their pages receive. HivePress Statistics is for directory admins and vendors who need to quantify user engagement and interest levels for specific listings.
HivePress Statistics Features
The feature set is built around providing transparent data to both the site administrator and the individual listing owners within the directory environment.
Real-Time Performance Tracking
The plugin tracks visits to individual listing pages in real-time, providing immediate feedback on traffic spikes. Users can see exactly how many times a listing has been viewed over specific periods. This helps in identifying trending content within your directory website. Administrators can monitor overall site health through these aggregated listing numbers.
Sorting and Filtering by Popularity
HivePress Statistics allows for listings to be sorted based on their visit counts, giving users a way to find popular entries quickly. This popularity metric can be integrated into search filters or front-end displays to highlight high-traffic listings. This functionality is often requested for marketplaces where buyers want to see what is currently in demand. The data helps in automating the discovery process for new visitors.
Vendor Insights
Vendors receive access to their own statistics dashboard where they can track the performance of their specific listings. This transparency builds trust between the site owner and the service providers or sellers. By showing daily, weekly, or monthly visit data, HivePress Statistics encourages vendors to optimize their listings. It provides the necessary data to justify premium or featured listing fees based on actual traffic delivered.
Pricing
HivePress extensions are typically sold individually or as part of a theme bundle for around $39 per extension. Check current pricing on the HivePress Statistics sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
