PS-Statistik Pro – Datenschutzfreundliche Besucherstatistik für PrestaShop (ohne Cookies & externe Tracker)

PS-Statistics Pro is a lean, privacy-friendly analytics module for PrestaShop 1.7 – 9.x. It records page views directly inside your shop – without cookies, without external trackers, and without personal data – and shows the most important metrics clearly inside the PrestaShop dashboard.

PS-Statistics Pro – Visitor Analytics directly in the PrestaShop Dashboard

PS-Statistics Pro is a lightweight statistics module for PrestaShop that records front-office page views on your own server – no external services, no cookies, and no personal data. Perfect for merchants who want to monitor traffic without running a complex tracking stack.

The module integrates seamlessly into the PrestaShop dashboard and provides a compact widget with key metrics such as visitors per day, top pages/URLs, top countries, and aggregated totals for selected time ranges. Technical requests, bots, admin/system routes and similar noise can be filtered so you only see meaningful shop traffic.

Why PS-Statistics Pro?

• No tracking cookies – the module does not set analytics cookies.
• No external service required (e.g., Google Analytics or Matomo).
• Privacy-first and easy to read – perfect for essential analytics.
• Lightweight & performant – optimized storage per page view.
• Easy installation – upload ZIP in Back Office, enable, done.

In times of stricter privacy requirements, PS-Statistics Pro provides a pragmatic solution: keep an eye on your shop usage without forcing visitors into consent banners for external analytics tools.

New: Settings, Analysis & Cleanup inside the module

PS-Statistics Pro includes a built-in configuration area with three tabs:

• Settings – widget position, chart range, top-lists limit, bot filter, dedupe window.
• Analysis – time range evaluation with date + time, top lists and a detailed log.
• Cleanup – delete your own tests precisely by time range + IP hash (md5).

It also includes a self-heal function: if hooks were removed by accident (e.g., manual DB edits), they are automatically repaired when opening the module in the Back Office.

Feature overview

• Visitor line chart for the last X days (freely configurable, e.g., 7 / 30 / 90 days).
• Compact key totals: Today, Yesterday, last 7 days, plus overall totals.
• Top URLs / Top pages: which targets/URLs are visited most.
• Top products: most visited products (name shown when available, otherwise ID fallback).
• Top categories: most visited categories (name shown when available, otherwise ID fallback).
• Top countries: based on ISO country codes (e.g., DE, AT, CH).
• Analysis time range filter with date + time (minute-level precision).
• Product & category autocomplete in the Analysis tab (type, select, evaluate).
• Detailed log with timestamp, target URL, country and IP hash (no plain IP stored).
• Bot/crawler filtering (optional) – hide typical bots and preview tools.
• Dedupe time window (minutes) – optionally merge repeated hits by the same visitor per page (0 = off).
• Filtering of technical requests (assets, API, system/admin routes, tools, importers, etc.).
• No tracking of sensitive areas (login, account, checkout, order history, etc. – depending on configuration/filters).
• Cleanup by time range + IP hash – perfect to remove your own test traffic.

Technical highlights
