Downloads Co-Pilot
a plain-language read of this page & where to look next
Which files people take, and what it cost them to get one. Scores the intent behind every download, detects the friction that made someone click the same file twice, maps the pages they read on the way to it, breaks the behaviour down by device, and shows where on the page download links actually get clicked. Reads the download stream the Engagement tracker already emits and adds the click position and pre-click behaviour nothing else records.

Range capped
This range holds more downloads than the row cap in settings, so the figures cover the most recent ones within it rather than all of them. Narrow the range or raise the cap.
No downloads in this range
The tracker that records these runs on every site automatically — there is no per-site switch for it and nothing to turn on. So an empty range almost always means nobody clicked a link to a file in this period. Widen the date range first.
Two real causes worth checking if a site that offers files stays empty: the tracker file must be reachable (

cdn.ghoststat.me/plugins/downloads/tracking.js returning 200, not a stale edge-cached copy), and the link has to look like a file. A download served behind a form post, a redirect, or a URL with no file extension is indistinguishable from an ordinary page in the markup and is deliberately not counted.File types
