Frequently Asked Questions

What is Burst Statistics?

Burst is a privacy-friendly analytics plugin for WordPress. It helps you track your website traffic without collecting personal data — so you stay in control.

It’s simple, lightweight, and runs entirely on your own server. No third-party tracking, no complicated setup, and no data leaving your site.

What’s the difference between Burst Free and Burst Pro?

Burst Free gives you clean, essential analytics — perfect for bloggers and small site owners.

Burst Pro adds advanced tools for webshops and content-rich websites. You get customized email reports, advanced filters, customizable goals, and much more to come!

Does Burst slow down my website?

Burst is built to be fast and efficient. It runs in the background and won’t slow your site down. Yes, like any plugin, it adds a small bit of load — but it’s minimal.

Think it’s slowing things down? Tell us — we’ll do our best to fix it.

Where does Burst store my data?

All data collected by Burst stays on your own WordPress site. We don’t see it, we don’t touch it, and we never sell it.

Unlike others, our business model doesn’t rely on your data — we offer an optional Pro version for users who need more advanced features.

A note from the founders

We believe analytics should help you focus, not overwhelm you with clutter.

Before starting Burst, Rogier built Really Simple SSL to be as simple as possible and later he co-founded Complianz, to make it easy to comply with privacy regulations.

I spent years designing WordPress websites and later joined Really Simple Plugins to design clean and easy-to-use interfaces. Cluttered WordPress plugins have always frustrated us.

That is why every feature in Burst is built around two strict rules: it must respect your visitors’ privacy, and it must be immediately useful. No useless metrics, no confusing menus, and all local within WordPress.

We hope to give you the clarity you need to make good decisions.
