# OpenPanel Self-Hosted - WordPress Plugin
**Version:** 1.1.1
**Requires:** WordPress 5.8+, PHP 7.4+
**License:** GPLv2 or later
## Description
**OpenPanel Self-Hosted** is a fork of the [official OpenPanel WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/openpanel/) with full **Self-Hosted instance support**. [OpenPanel](https://openpanel.dev) is an open-source web and product analytics platform — a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics.
This plugin seamlessly integrates OpenPanel (Cloud or Self-Hosted) with your WordPress site while maximizing reliability and avoiding ad-blocker interference.
Designed to work with [MCP Hub](https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub) for AI-powered analytics management.
## Key Features
- **Self-Hosted Support**: Works with both OpenPanel Cloud and your own Self-Hosted instance
- **Ad-Blocker Resistant**: Serves analytics scripts and API calls from your own domain
- **Real-Time Analytics**: Instant insights without processing delays
- **Privacy-Friendly**: Cookie-less tracking — no cookie banners needed
- **Performance Optimized**: Local script caching and efficient proxying
- **Product Analytics**: Funnel analysis, retention tracking, conversion metrics
- **Web Analytics**: Visitors, referrals, top pages, devices, sessions, bounce rates
## How It Works
1. **Inlines** `op1.js` directly into your pages (cached locally for 1 week)
2. **Bootstraps** the OpenPanel SDK with your Client ID automatically
3. **Proxies** all SDK requests through WordPress REST API (`/wp-json/openpanel/`)
4. **Preserves** all request methods, headers, query parameters, and body data
Serving scripts and data from your own domain origin avoids third-party blocking and improves tracking reliability.
