Can I recreate the Kissmetric error identification analysis feature with a WordPress plugin?

To read data from another URL and analyze it is possible to create as a WordPress plugin. However, very little of the actual code in the plugin would be WordPress-related.

Does the Kissmetrics site ACTUALLY analyze your site? Or is it "identifying improvement opportunities" and requesting you email for more info? (Neil Patel does this; if you enter the same URL twice, you'll get different results from his "analysis".)

So the short answer is yes. Medium answer is that it's not going to have much to do with WordPress. Long answer is that the function you're looking to mimic might actually just be marketing smoke and mirrors.

If you'd like to get a full technical breakdown of how the plugin can be built, I'd be happy to work through it with you. Request a call and we'll set it up.

Good luck!

I believe that you should not jump straight away. You must learn about the thing before creating a plugin.
KISSmetrics is a powerful web analytics tool that delivers key insights and user interaction on your website. It defines a clear picture of users’ activities on your website and collects acquisition data of every visitor. KISSmetrics helps in improving sales by knowing cart-abandoned products. By default, KISSmetrics sets two events for you − visited site and search engine hit.

Yes, you can create a Kissmetrics error identification and analysis feature using a WordPress plugin. This would involve integrating Kissmetrics’ analytics capabilities into a custom plugin or enhancing an existing plugin to analyze and report errors in your WordPress site.

Steps to Create the Feature
1. Understand Kissmetrics API
Review the Kissmetrics API documentation to understand how to integrate with their service. The API can be used to track user interactions, events, and errors.
2. Plan the Plugin’s Functionality
Decide the scope of your plugin:
• Identify types of errors to track (e.g., JavaScript errors, 404 pages, server errors).
• Define how error data will be sent to Kissmetrics (e.g., custom events or properties).
• Create an admin dashboard in WordPress to display and analyze the error data.
3. Create a Custom WordPress Plugin
• Set up a basic plugin structure:

my-kissmetrics-plugin/
├── my-kissmetrics-plugin.php
├── includes/
├── admin/
└── assets/

• Register scripts for capturing errors and interacting with Kissmetrics.
• Use hooks and filters to track errors like 404s or PHP warnings.

4. Error Tracking and Reporting
• Add JavaScript code to capture frontend errors:

window.onerror = function(message, source, lineno, colno, error) {
const errorData = {
message,
source,
lineno,
colno,
error: error ? error.stack : null
};
// Send error data to Kissmetrics
_kmq.push(['record', 'Error Occurred', errorData]);
};

• Use WordPress hooks like template_redirect or wp_die_handler to track backend errors.

5. Integrate with Kissmetrics
Add the Kissmetrics tracking code to your plugin and ensure it’s initialized correctly:

function my_kissmetrics_tracking_code() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var _kmq = _kmq || [];
var _kmk = '<YOUR_KISSMETRICS_API_KEY>';
(function(d, t) {
var g = d.createElement(t), s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
g.async = true;
g.src = '//i.kissmetrics.io/i.js';
s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
})(document, 'script');
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'my_kissmetrics_tracking_code');

6. Display Error Analytics in WordPress Admin
Use the Kissmetrics API to fetch error data and display it in a user-friendly format on your WordPress admin dashboard.
7. Test and Optimize
• Test the plugin thoroughly to ensure it captures all relevant errors.
• Optimize the plugin for performance and compatibility with other WordPress plugins and themes.

Considerations
• Ensure compliance with privacy laws like GDPR when tracking user data.
• Use Kissmetrics API sparingly to avoid rate limits.
• If you’re not a developer, consider hiring a professional to build this plugin.
