Mixpanel · analytics consent

Mixpanel layers inside every wordpress site.

Mixpanel doesn't ship an official WordPress plugin. The standard install is to paste their JS snippet into your theme — which means a child theme, a `wp_head` action, and remembering not to lose it on theme switches.

funnel

where 98.4% of visitors drop off.

a real Mixpanel funnel from a Yovale-hosted SaaS site, last 7 days. autocapture wired the page view + form view automatically — only the last three events needed `track()` calls.

  • 12,400 → 198 in five steps. the worst drop is sign-up viewed → submitted (68.8%).
  • autocapture would not have caught the last three steps — those need explicit `mixpanel.track()` calls.
  • cohort the activated 612 — Mixpanel auto-builds a retention curve.

faq

questions before you switch hosts for Mixpanel.

Does autocapture work on WordPress?

Yes — Mixpanel's autocapture is DOM-based and works on any HTML. The Yovale injector loads the SDK with autocapture enabled by default; you can override this in Mixpanel settings.

Can I use Mixpanel without writing tracking code?

Yes. Autocapture covers clicks, form submits, page changes, and viewport scroll events out of the box. Add custom track() calls later for business-specific events.

Does Mixpanel respect EU consent?

Yovale gates the snippet behind the analytics consent signal — if the visitor declined analytics cookies, the Mixpanel SDK never loads.

Can I run Mixpanel with GA4?

Yes. Many product teams keep GA4 for marketing/SEO and Mixpanel for product/funnel work. Both ship from the same Yovale tracking panel.

Will the page cache strip Mixpanel?

No. The snippet is part of the cached HTML. Event ingestion happens client-side via the Mixpanel SDK.
