01 — WHAT IT MEASURES

The whole picture, in one dashboard.

Every metric you’d expect from an analytics suite — plus click heatmaps, named-visitor journeys, dollar-valued conversions, video engagement and AI-crawler tracking — all recorded on your own server, no external script, no third party.

One free plugin. Nothing gated, nothing metered.

✓Visitor & session tracking — no cookies, no stored IP
✓Click, scroll, rage-click & dead-click heatmaps on a live preview of every page
✓Video engagement — plays, watch time & completion rate
✓User journeys & named visitor profiles
✓New vs returning visits — first visits compared with return visits (bounce, duration, conversion rate), and a New / Returning filter on journeys
✓Traffic sources & UTM campaigns — email, paid & campaign traffic attributed properly, not lumped into direct
✓Conversion tracking with dollar values
✓Conversions from search — visits, conversions & dollar value from search engines, per landing page
✓AI answer readiness scan — how easy each page is for ChatGPT, Perplexity & AI Overviews to read and cite
✓Recommendations engine
✓The free Claude Code / Gemini agent (reads your analytics)
✓MCP server — your analytics as 19 read-only, typed tools for Claude Code & any MCP client
✓AI-crawler tracking — see which AI bots crawl your site (live fetch vs. training)
✓404 monitor — missing pages visitors hit, and the broken link that sent them
✓Admin & bot exclusion — headless-browser and zero-engagement traffic filtered out of every metric, plus exclude any date range from your baselines
✓Realtime visitor tracking

02 — WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES (AND DOESN’T)

No cookies. No stored IP. Nothing phoned home.

Kantan measures real humans without parking an identifier on their device or shipping their behaviour to someone else’s servers. In most jurisdictions, there’s simply nothing to put a consent banner on.

01
No cookies
Sessions live in the browser’s own storage and clear themselves — nothing to consent to, no way to follow anyone across sites.
02
No IP on disk
Country and region are resolved from an offline database the instant a visit happens; the raw IP is discarded immediately and never stored.
03
Nothing phoned home
Every metric lives in your WordPress database. Kantan has no servers to send your visitors’ data to — because it never sees it.
Fig. 2 — known bots and logged-in admins are never recorded, and bots that disguise themselves are filtered out of every report, so your numbers reflect people, not crawlers.
03 — BEYOND THE PAGEVIEW

Depth most analytics skip.

Not just counts — behaviour, identity-free.

一

Named-visitor journeys

Every visitor gets a persistent ID and a generated name — “Roaming Copper Wren” — so long, multi-visit journeys are actually legible. Follow the path your best visitors walk, and see where the rest drop off.

二

Conversions with a value

Phone, email, directions and bookings — plus auto-detected form submissions from Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity, Ninja, Forminator and more. Attach a dollar value to each and see what your traffic is actually worth.

三

Heatmaps, video & crawlers

Per-element click heatmaps and scroll depth, video engagement (plays, watch time, completion), and an AI-crawler view showing which assistants fetch your pages — live fetch vs. training. All cookieless.

● ANALYTICS YOU CAN TALK TO

Ask your data a question.

Kantan ships with a free downloadable agent for Claude Code or Gemini CLI. It reads your analytics through an application password you generate, over your own REST API and answers in plain English — no dashboard spelunking required.

It reads; you approve. Nothing it sees leaves your terminal.
