Description
Ever wonder how many hours you actually spend inside WordPress admin? Bitlence Dev Code Tracker answers that question. It silently monitors your active time on every wp-admin screen — with smart idle detection, per-page breakdowns, and a streak tracker to keep you motivated.
Built for WordPress developers, agencies, and power users who want visibility into where their time goes — without leaving wp-admin.
Features
- Tracks active time on every wp-admin screen
- Idle detection — session ends automatically after configurable timeout
- Per-post/page breakdown with post title, post type, and time spent
- Today / This Week / All Time stat cards
- 30-day bar chart
- Streak tracker (consecutive active days)
- Dashboard widget showing today’s total at a glance
- Admin toolbar live timer with floating badge in page builders
- Multi-user support — each user’s data is tracked separately
- Configurable: idle timeout, minimum session length, which roles are tracked
- localStorage queue — sessions are buffered locally and retried if a request fails
- Universal page builder support — Elementor, Oxygen, Beaver Builder, Divi, WPBakery, Brizy, Thrive Architect, Bricks, Breakdance, SeedProd
- Clickable post titles in Sessions Log and Dashboard
- SPA navigation tracking (WooCommerce Analytics, React/Vue-based admin plugins)

FAQ
-
Does it track front-end page views?
-
Only when a supported frontend page builder is active (Oxygen, Beaver Builder, Divi Visual Builder, WPBakery Frontend, Brizy, Thrive Architect, SeedProd). Regular frontend browsing is not tracked.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. The tracker runs only in wp-admin for logged-in users. It has no impact on your front-end or visitor experience.
-
Where is the data stored?
-
All data is stored locally in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to any external server.
-
Can I export my data?
-
Yes — go to Dev Code Tracker Sessions Log and click Export CSV. The export respects any active date filter, so you can export a specific date range or all sessions.
-
Does it work with multisite?
-
It creates per-site tables; multisite is not officially tested yet.
-
What happens to my data if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Data is preserved. Tables are only removed when you delete the plugin.
-
Can I track only certain user roles?
-
Yes — go to Dev Code Tracker Settings and choose which roles are tracked.

Changelog
1.2.0

- Added: floating timer badge in any builder that hides the WP admin bar
- Fixed: Elementor editor time not tracked — self-contained script registration and printing
