Version 5.0.0

July 26, 2026

Initial release.

Added

  • Per-entry Google Analytics 4 reporting in the Craft control panel: overview totals, a timeline chart, and breakdowns by location, traffic source, referring page and landing page.
  • Analytics field type — a read-only report for any element with a public URL. Stores nothing, so adding or removing it never touches content tables.
  • Optional compact analytics panel in every entry's sidebar, with no field layout changes required, limitable to chosen sections.
  • Telescope control panel section listing the property's most-viewed pages, filterable by site and period.
  • Top pages dashboard widget.
  • Interactive timeline chart (Chart.js) with drag, scroll and pinch zoom, pan, and a reset control.
  • Download PDF — a one-click client-side export (html2canvas + jsPDF) that keeps cards, sections and tables from being sliced across page breaks. On paper the breakdown tables drop from four columns to two, and truncated values wrap in full rather than being cut short.
  • Print view — a standalone, print-optimised page with the CP's chrome stripped out, rendering the chart as server-generated SVG so it needs no JavaScript at all.
  • Direct Google Analytics Data API integration via a service account (recommended) or an OAuth refresh token. No third-party analytics plugin is required.
  • Per-site GA4 property IDs, plus an optional hostname filter for installs where several sites report into one property.
  • Configurable reporting period, path match type, query-string handling, enabled report sections, table row counts and cache duration.
  • Console commands: telescope/analytics/check, show, top-pages, warm and clear-cache.
  • craft.telescope.* Twig API for using the same reports on the front end.
  • telescope:viewReports user permission.

Notes

  • Chart.js, Hammer.js, chartjs-plugin-zoom, html2canvas and jsPDF are loaded from jsDelivr at pinned versions, and only on screens that draw a full report. There are no PHP dependencies beyond Craft itself.
  • Credentials and property IDs can be supplied as environment variables, keeping private keys out of project config.
