Form Analytics & Conversion Tracking

Form Forge tracks every impression, submission, and abandonment on every form — no third-party analytics required. The data lives in your WordPress database and is surfaced in a dashboard built for non-analysts: real metrics, clearly labeled, without a 300-page setup manual.


What Form Forge tracks

Impressions

Every time a form is loaded on a frontend page, it’s counted as an impression. Unique visitors are deduped within a session to avoid inflating numbers.

Submissions

Every successful submission. Spam attempts blocked by anti-spam are tracked separately.

Conversion rate

Submissions ÷ impressions, calculated per form and per time period.

Abandonment rate

Users who interacted with the form (typed in a field) but didn’t complete it. Tracked via navigator.sendBeacon() when the user navigates away.

Time-to-complete

Average and median time from first field focus to successful submission.

Per-step drop-off

On multi-step forms, the percentage of users who reached each step. Shows exactly where users are giving up on long forms.

Per-field fill rate

On any form, the percentage of users who filled in each field. Great for identifying optional fields that users skip — candidates for removal.


The analytics dashboard

The Form Forge analytics dashboard has three levels:

Site level

Overview of all forms: total impressions, submissions, conversion rate across the whole site. Line chart showing trends over the last 30 / 90 / 365 days. Top 5 performing forms. Bottom 5 underperforming forms.

Form level

Click any form to see its individual stats: impressions, submissions, conversion rate, abandonment rate, time-to-complete. Timeline chart. Comparison to the previous period.

Field level

Drill into any form to see per-field fill rates, average time spent on each field, and (for multi-step forms) the drop-off between each step.

All data is cached with transients for performance — dashboards load fast even on sites with thousands of submissions.


AI submission analysis

This is where Form Forge stands apart from other WordPress form analytics. Click Analyze with AI on any form and Form Forge sends the submission data (anonymized) to our AI backend. The AI returns a written report with:

  • Conversion rate assessmentis this form’s rate good or bad for its use case?
  • Underperforming fieldswhich specific fields are hurting completion, ranked by impact
  • Specific recommendations“Make ‘Phone’ optional — 34% of abandonments happen on this field” or “Split into 2 steps — current length exceeds recommended maximum for contact forms”
  • Priority orderwhich change to make first for the biggest impact
  • Estimated impactexpected lift if you apply the suggestion

The AI analysis is not generic advice. It’s based on your actual form’s submission patterns.

How it runs

AI analysis runs in the background via the Forge job queue. No PHP timeout. You click the button, close the modal, and get a notification when the analysis is ready. Large forms with thousands of submissions take a minute or two to process.

AI analysis uses credits from your shared credit pool. A typical analysis uses about 5 credits.


Dashboard widget

A compact version of the analytics dashboard lives on the main WordPress admin dashboard so you see form health on every admin login. Quick view: top form, lowest-performing form, week-over-week change.


Export for reporting

Every table in the analytics dashboard can be exported as CSV for inclusion in client reports or spreadsheets. Agencies use this to demonstrate form ROI on long-running projects.


No third-party trackers

Form Forge’s analytics use no third-party services, no tracking pixels, no cookies beyond WordPress defaults. All data stays on your server. GDPR-friendly by default.
