Slimstat writes one row to wp_slim_stats per pageview, with browser, OS, country, referrer, user role, and visit duration on the same record. Events land in wp_slim_events, outbound clicks in wp_slim_outbound. The default Access Log report shows the data with fixed columns, and the Pro Pack adds some sorting, but most cross-cutting questions still mean flipping between widgets.

SleekView Charts reads the Slimstat tables directly and turns them into chart cards on one saved dashboard. A KPI for total pageviews today, a Donut for browser share, a Bar for the busiest countries, and an Area chart of pageviews per hour for fast-moving traffic reviews.

Because Slimstat's access log is real-time, the cards paginate and aggregate against the plugin's existing indexes. The External DB add-on works the same way: when Slimstat reads from a separate database, SleekView follows the same connection. The recording stays unchanged and the dashboard becomes something you can actually share.

Slimstat is one of the few analytics plugins that does not hide its underlying tables, and that makes it ideal for power users. The trade-off has always been that the default UI reads more like a series of widgets than a dashboard. SleekView Charts reads wp_slim_stats, wp_slim_events, and wp_slim_outbound directly and turns them into a configurable chart dashboard you can shape per team.

Triage teams get an hourly traffic line and a country bar, audit gets a role-split donut, editorial gets the top pages bar. None of the recording changes, the External DB add-on still works as is, and the privacy posture of running Slimstat stays exactly where it was, just with a much better way to read the result.
