## Descrizione

**Video stats**

NEW: VidLog now tracks how long visitors watch your videos, giving you deeper insight
beyond simple play counts.

**VidLog** gives you immediate insight into how your self-hosted videos are being
watched, directly inside your WordPress dashboard.

The moment a visitor presses PLAY, VidLog records the view and stores key details
such as:

 * Date and time
 * IP address
 * Country/City
 * Page slug
 * Video file
 * Referrer source
 * Pages viewed
 * Watched time (minutes viewed per session)

If you use self-hosted video files like `.mp4`, `.webm`, `.mov`, `.m4v`, `.avi`,
or `.m3u8`, VidLog helps you understand what people are watching, where they are
coming from, and which videos perform best. The plugin also logs instant visits 
on your site pages, logging the same metadata.

**Page stats**

**VidLog** also instantly logs what pages visitors view on your site. The log contains
the same metadata as video views. It counts all page visits, not only unique visits.

**Why site owners use VidLog**

 * Instant logging the moment a visitor presses PLAY
 * Instant logging the moment a page is visited
 * Watched time tracking for self-hosted videos
 * Clean monthly video and page logs inside WordPress
 * CSV exports for reporting and backup
 * Referrer tracking to see where visitors came from
 * Lightweight setup with no external analytics dashboard required
 * Simple dashboard for reviewing logs directly in WordPress

**Perfect for**

 * Filmmakers and video creators
 * Membership sites
 * Online courses and educators
 * Video tutorials
 * Agencies managing client video content
 * Any WordPress site using self-hosted videos

> **Important:** VidLog tracks self-hosted video files. It does not track YouTube
> or Vimeo embeds.

   image file directly
