This WordPress plugin adds this core functionality:

  1. Logs all 3rd Party Requests created by JavaScript files
  2. Gives you the option to allow only specific hostnames, all others will be blocked.
  3. Multisite compatible

This plugin shows what 3rd Party Requests are initiated by your WordPress installation. This is useful if have to comply with data privacy frameworks like GDPR.
Under GDPR the IP adress is considered as personal data, and as you share the IP adress of your visitor with every request you need to make sure, that it is not accidentilly shared.

How does it work?
Intercepts all external resource requests (images, scripts, CSS, fonts, videos, etc.) – excluding extension requests – and logs them. Data is stored in a custom table.
A settings page lets you choose a data retention period (with a daily cron job to delete old data), configure notifications for new hostnames, and set a sample percentage to limit interception on only a percentage of page views.
Two admin pages are provided: one for all intercepted requests (with optional filtering, pagination, and column sorting) and one summarizing data grouped by hostname.

Roadmap

  2. .. much more. If you have ideas please reach out.
