Switch from Clicky

How it works

There's no Clicky importer. Vireo counts from the day you install it.

Cost

Free. Vireo Analytics is free on WordPress.org.

What carries over

• Your Google Analytics 4 history, if the site also ran GA4, through the Google Analytics importer
• Google searches from the last 90 days, once you connect Search Console

What doesn't

• Clicky's history: visitors, actions, pages, referrers, countries, devices and goals
• The visitor log and visitor sessions. Vireo keeps daily totals and nothing about a single visitor.

What you get with Vireo

• Visits counted on your own server and stored in your WordPress database, with no cookies on visitors' devices
• The Google searches behind each post, from Search Console, on that post's stats screen
• What AI crawlers take from your site, next to the readers AI assistants send back
• Bots kept out of the numbers and listed by category, so you can see what was filtered
• Views per post in the WordPress Posts list, and a Popular posts block built from the same counts

What you give up

• Your Clicky history in the same charts as your new numbers
• The visitor log and visitor sessions. Vireo Pro has a live view of the last 30 minutes, with each current visitor's trail of pages.

What you need

• A copy of the Clicky reports you want to keep, before your plan ends or changes

Steps

1. Install Vireo Analytics from WordPress.org on the same site. It starts counting from that day. Clicky can keep running alongside it while you compare the two.
2. Export the reports you want to keep. Clicky exports reports as CSV or XML, and its API is on every plan.
3. If the site ran GA4 too, import that history. In WordPress, go to Vireo Analytics, then Settings, then the Import & export tab. Choose Google Analytics and follow the Google Analytics guide.
4. To bring in searches, open the Search Console & API tab in Vireo's settings, give a service account Restricted access in Search Console, paste its key and the property exactly as Search Console lists it, and save. Then click "Fetch the last 90 days".
5. Remove Clicky's tracking code, or deactivate the Clicky plugin if you added it that way.

Before you start

• Clicky's free plan keeps 30 days of history. On paid plans, Clicky only guarantees individual visitors and actions for 6 months, so export soon if you want them.
• Expect the two tools' visitor numbers to differ. Each counts unique visitors its own way, and Vireo counts each visitor once per day.
