Setup

From Install to Protected in Three Steps

Everything happens inside wp-admin. You never touch your theme files or paste code into a header.

  1. 01

    Install the Plugin

    In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New, and search for ClickGuardian. You can also download it directly from the ClickGuardian listing on WordPress.org. Click Install, then Activate.

  2. 02

    Paste Your Project ID

    Open the plugin settings and paste the Project ID from your ClickGuardian dashboard. It is a single field, and the ID always starts with proj_. That is the entire configuration.

  3. 03

    Click Test Connection

    Press Test connection and the plugin confirms your site is talking to ClickGuardian. From that moment, ad clicks landing on your WordPress site are analysed for fraud.

Inside the plugin

Built Small, Built for WordPress

Everything you need to feed clean, complete signals to your fraud protection, and nothing that weighs your site down.

01

One-Field Setup

Your Project ID is the only required setting. Paste it, test the connection, done.

02

Master Tracking Switch

Pause or resume tracking site-wide with one toggle. Handy for staging copies and maintenance windows.

03

Form & Lead Signals

Detects lead and form activity, with built-in integrations for Gravity Forms, WPForms and Contact Form 7.

04

Role Exclusions

Keep logged-in administrators, editors or any other role you choose out of your traffic data.

05

Path Exclusions

Exclude URL paths from tracking with wildcard patterns, so test and utility pages stay out of your numbers.

06

Regional Ingest

Choose EU, US or Global ingest so visitor signals are received in the region that suits your setup.

07

Lightweight Script

Loads asynchronously and weighs under 15 KB gzipped, so your pages keep their speed.

08

Cookieless by Design

Uses sessionStorage only. No cookies are set on your visitors, ever.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a ClickGuardian account to use the plugin?
Yes. The plugin is the on-site half of the system: it collects visitor and form signals from your WordPress site, while your ClickGuardian account scores every click and blocks the fraudulent sources. Plans start at $49 per month and every plan begins with a 7-day free trial (card required). See our pricing page for the full breakdown.

Does the plugin set cookies?
No. The tracking script keeps what it needs in sessionStorage, which the browser clears when the tab closes. It sets no cookies at all and does no cross-site tracking.

Will the plugin slow my site down?
No. The script loads asynchronously so it never blocks rendering, and it weighs under 15 KB gzipped, a fraction of a typical hero image. It also behaves well alongside page caching plugins and Cloudflare.

Does it work with my form plugin?
The plugin ships with dedicated lead detection for Gravity Forms, WPForms and Contact Form 7. If you use a different form tool, click protection itself still works normally; the form integrations simply add lead quality signals on top.

Do I need a consent banner to run ClickGuardian?
Generally not for fraud prevention. The tracker is cookieless, and fraud prevention is recognised as a legitimate interest under GDPR (Article 6(1)(f), Recital 47), so consent banners are generally not required for it. Every site handles data a little differently though, so consult your DPO if you are unsure.

Where do I find my Project ID?
Your Project ID starts with proj_ and is shown in your ClickGuardian dashboard. Copy it, paste it into the plugin's single settings field in wp-admin, and click Test connection to confirm your site is linked.
