Installation:

Download the plugin zip file
Go to WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
Choose the downloaded zip file and click “Install Now”
Activate the plugin
Go to Settings → Cloudflare Analytics
Enter your Cloudflare API Token and Zone ID (see setup guide below)
Click “Run Initial Sync” to populate your data

Setup Guide:

Getting Your Cloudflare API Token:

Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard
Click on your profile icon (top right) → My Profile
Go to API Tokens tab
Click “Create Token”
Use the “Read Analytics” template or create custom token with Analytics:Read permission
Copy the generated token and paste it into the plugin settings

Finding Your Zone ID:

Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard
Select your website
Scroll down on the Overview page
Look for “Zone ID” in the right sidebar (under API section)
Copy this ID and paste it into the plugin settings

Usage:

Once configured, the plugin automatically syncs data from Cloudflare:

Hourly Sync: Updates current day’s detailed stats every hour
Daily Sync: Pulls complete daily summaries once per day
Manual Sync: Use “Sync All Daily Data” button in settings for historical data

Access your analytics through:

Main Dashboard: WordPress Admin → Cloudflare Analytics
Admin Bar: Click the cloud icon in top admin bar for quick stats
Dashboard Widget: See key metrics on your WordPress dashboard

Dashboard Tabs:

Overview: High-level stats with charts and graphs
Top Content: Your most popular posts/pages (Content Traffic vs All URLs view)
Geography: Visitor breakdown by country
Traffic Analysis: Status codes, browsers, and device types
Bots & Crawlers: Track bot activity and potential threats

Notes:

Free Cloudflare plans have limited analytics features (no bot scoring, basic metrics only)
Data is stored locally in your WordPress database for fast access
The plugin respects Cloudflare’s rate limits
All timestamps are in UTC to match Cloudflare’s data
Content Traffic view only shows your actual WordPress posts and pages (filters out API calls, static files, etc.)

Troubleshooting:

No data showing:

Verify your API token and Zone ID are correct
Make sure your site is active on Cloudflare
Click “Run Initial Sync” in settings to pull data
Check that your API token has Analytics:Read permission

Today shows low numbers:

This is normal – “Today” resets at midnight UTC (around 7pm EST previous day)
Use “Yesterday” or “Last 7 Days” for more complete data

Sync not working:

Check WordPress cron is functioning (some hosts disable it)
Verify your server can make outbound HTTPS requests
Try manual sync from Settings page
