## Description

Most WordPress sites have no way to know if their phone number or key buttons are
actually being clicked. Contact form submissions are easy to count, but a tap on
a phone number or an email link leaves no trace in your dashboard.

ClickTrace fixes that. Once activated, it automatically tracks every click on tel:(
phone) links and mailto: (email) links across your site, with zero configuration
required. You can also add custom links, like a booking button or WhatsApp link,
and track them separately with their own name.

**Key Features**

 * Automatic tracking of phone number clicks
 * Automatic tracking of email link clicks
 * Add unlimited custom links to track (buttons, booking links, WhatsApp, etc)
 * View stats for today, yesterday, last 7 days, this month and last month
 * Month-over-month percentage comparison
 * See which page each click happened on
 * Approximate visitor location (city and country) per click
 * Full click log with page, link, location and timestamp
 * Export all data to CSV
 * Simple shortcode to display the stats dashboard on any page
 * Mobile responsive dashboard
 * No coding required, works with any WordPress theme

**How It Works**

After activation, phone and email link clicks are tracked automatically. To view
your stats, create a page and add the shortcode below:

    ```
    [clicktrace]
    ```

This displays a full dashboard with stats broken down by time period, plus a sidebar
to filter by link type.

To track a custom link, go to the ClickTrace settings page in your WordPress admin,
add the link’s name and exact URL, and it will appear as its own filter in your 
dashboard.

**Who Is This For**

ClickTrace is built for local businesses and service providers where phone calls
matter as much as, or more than, contact form submissions: taxi and transport companies,
restaurants, trades and repair services, clinics, and any business relying on click-
to-call.

### External services

This plugin connects to two third-party IP geolocation services to determine the
approximate city and country of a visitor when they click a tracked link (tel:, 
mailto:, or a custom tracked link). This only happens at the moment of a click, 
not on every page view.

**FreeIPAPI** (primary lookup service)
 The visitor’s IP address is sent to freeipapi.
com to retrieve city and country data. Service: https://freeipapi.com Privacy Policy:
https://freeipapi.com/privacy/

**ip-api.com** (fallback lookup service, used only if FreeIPAPI does not return 
a result, and only for IPv4 addresses)
 The visitor’s IP address is sent to ip-api.
com to retrieve city and country data. Service: https://ip-api.com Privacy Policy:
https://ip-api.com/docs/legal

No other visitor data (name, email, browsing history) is sent to these services 
beyond the IP address of the click event.

## Installation

 1. Upload the clicktrace folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install 
    directly through the WordPress Plugins screen
 2. Activate the plugin through the « Plugins » screen in WordPress
 3. Go to ClickTrace in your WordPress admin menu to configure custom tracked links(
    phone and email tracking work automatically, no setup needed)
 4. Create a new page and add the shortcode [clicktrace] to display your stats dashboard

## FAQ

### Does this track phone and email clicks automatically?

Yes. As soon as you activate the plugin, all tel: and mailto: links on your site
are tracked with no additional configuration.

### Can I track a specific button or link that isn’t a phone or email link?

Yes. Go to ClickTrace settings in your WordPress admin, add the link’s exact URL
and a name for it, and it will be tracked separately from your general stats.

### Does this slow down my website?

No. The tracking script is lightweight and loads asynchronously. It does not affect
your page load speed in any meaningful way.

### Where do I see the click stats?

Add the [clicktrace] shortcode to any page in WordPress. That page will display 
your full stats dashboard.

### Is visitor location data accurate?

Location is estimated from the visitor’s IP address and shows city and country level
accuracy. It is not exact GPS location.

### Does this work with any WordPress theme?

Yes. ClickTrace works independently of your theme and does not require any specific
theme features.

### Can I export the data?

Yes. Every report includes a CSV export option so you can download your click data
at any time.
