Stop guessing which marketing channels are generating your leads.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

How It Works<\/h4>\n\n

                  Do I need to modify my forms?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  No. LeadSource hooks into your form plugin automatically. There are no shortcodes to add, no hidden fields to configure, and no form templates to edit.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  Does it work if I don't use UTM parameters?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  Yes. The plugin also detects ad platform click IDs (gclid, fbclid, etc.) and automatically labels the traffic source. Even visitors arriving via organic search or direct traffic are categorised.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  No. The frontend script is tiny vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery dependency) that runs once on page load to read URL parameters. There are no external API calls and no impact on page load speed.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  Does it work with caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  Yes. The UTM capture runs in the visitor's browser via JavaScript, so server-side caching does not interfere with tracking.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  What is the conversion window?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  The plugin uses \"Same Session\" attribution \u2014 the captured UTM data persists until the browser is closed. This is the most accurate setting and prevents cross-session over-counting.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                  Is my data sent anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                  No. All data is stored locally in your WordPress database. The plugin does not communicate with any external analytics or tracking service.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
