Yes. Reader Progress, Decision Point, Reports, and CSV export are all included with no hidden tier and no feature waiting behind a license key.

Your dashboard can tell you the bounce rate.
It can’t tell you if anyone finished reading.

Q: Does it use cookies or track individuals?

No. Semantic Journey stores no cookies, no session identifiers, and no personal data of any kind, for either module. It records aggregate daily counts per piece of content. No individual reader can be identified from the data at any point.

Q: Do I need a developer to set up Decision Point?

Not for the common cases. Phone number links are detected automatically with no setup. Everything else can be set up as a URL pattern rule in Settings, matching links by address, with no template editing. A developer marker is available for precise control if you want it, but it is optional.

Q: Does this work on custom post types?

Yes. Semantic Journey works on any public post type, not only posts and pages: products, portfolio items, or any custom post type your site uses.

Semantic Journey answers two plain questions about your content: how far did readers actually get, and did they reach the actions that matter to you. No scroll percentages, no session identifiers, no analytics vocabulary to learn first.

Free, self-hosted, however you run your site. No cookies, no personal data, nothing sent to a third party.

Semantic Journey WordPress Plugin and Semantic Journey for Static Sites as packaged software products

Module 1

Reader Progress

Four fixed milestones, counted per piece of content: Started Reading, Reached the Middle, Read Most, Reached the End. Detection is based on the reader's position relative to your content, not scroll depth or time on page.

Module 2

Decision Point

Counts clicks on whatever you decide matters: a donate button, a phone number, a signup link. Phone numbers are detected automatically. Everything else takes a marker or a simple URL rule, no template editing required.

Available as a free WordPress plugin, or as a self-hosted Static build for any other codebase. You can also see a live demo.

The gap between finishing and acting

An article can be read all the way through and still fail at the one thing it was written to achieve. Reader Progress and Decision Point sit on the same Reports screen so you can see both halves of that story at once: how far people got, and what they did when they got there.

Plain language, not analytics jargon

"Readers reached the end", not "scroll depth exceeded 80 percent". Every count is stated in words an editor would use.

Privacy-first by design

No cookies, no session identifiers, no individual reader profiles. Every number is a daily aggregate count, and nothing is shared with a third party.

Honest about its own limits

A click is not a conversion. A finished read is not an action taken. Semantic Journey states what happened and stops there, rather than guessing at why.

Common questions

What does Semantic Journey actually measure?

Two things. Reader Progress reports how far readers got through a piece of content, using four fixed milestones: Started Reading, Reached the Middle, Read Most, and Reached the End. Decision Point reports how many times readers clicked something you have decided matters, such as a donate button, a phone number, or a signup link. Both are reported as plain counts, not percentages or scores.

Does it use cookies or track individuals?

Is this a replacement for Google Analytics?

No. It answers two narrower editorial questions well: how far readers got, and whether they reached the actions that matter. It will not tell you where your traffic came from, what device someone used, or your total visitor count. If you need broader traffic data, use it alongside a general analytics tool, not instead of one.
