Title: Autoloaded options – wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors Last modified: August 10, 2025 --- # Autoloaded options – wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors * [horgster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/horgster/) * (@horgster) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoloaded-options-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/) * Hello! * I have an critical site health warning in my WordPress site regards to Autoloaded Options. Noticed that wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors stores over 2,4MB of data that is bloating my WP_options table causing severe impact on my site. My service hosting provider has warned about this to. * I do not understand why WP Statistics allows this autoloaded option to just grow and grow in size! Any plugin should not allow this, and there should be set an maximum retention size on this. * The reason why it is growing is that I have an Theme that uses depricted PHP functions and hence the trackers logs these errors rapidly! This has also been reported in previous case [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/constantly-updating-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/constantly-updating-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/) * The next version of WP Statistics should allow us in the settings page to: – Set the maximum error size that is logged in the DB– Enable / disable the debugging feature directly in the settings page and not need to add it to the functions. php which is just an hassle and you lose overview * Best Regards Horgster Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [horgster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/horgster/) * (@horgster) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoloaded-options-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/#post-18592540) * Hi, I would also like to address that the “WP Statistics” plugin should at no circumstances logs deprecated warnings of other plugins/themes unless you really need it into the wp_options table!!There should also be implemented an sensible size limit and frequency limit incase you need to debug this. Please set this to “disabled” be default, and add these options in the General Settings page of the debugger to enable **these features when needed!!**In complicated WordPress installations will always time to time have deprecated functions and logging this is unnecessary unless debugging is really needed.I have added an temporary filter * add_filter(‘wp_statistics_disable_tracker_debugger_logs’, function () { *     return true; // Disables tracker debugger error logging * }); * Please fix this! * [Mehmet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gandomi/) * (@gandomi) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoloaded-options-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/#post-18593526) * Hello [@horgster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/horgster/), * Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and concerns regarding the `wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors` option. * We understand how a large autoloaded option can affect site performance, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain your case and suggestions clearly. * I have forwarded your feedback and recommendations to our development team for review.

Very long messages are truncated, and the limit is configurable via a filter. * This ensures the autoloaded option will no longer bloat your database, even if many errors are generated. * Best regards, Mehmet * Thread Starter [horgster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/horgster/) * (@horgster) * [9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoloaded-options-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/#post-18631810) * Hi [@gandomi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gandomi/) * Thank you for quick response and detailed explenation. * Assume that these 10 errors also includes following error types; warnings, deprecated as well, or will it only keep the Error type? Bear in mind that many wordpress sites will have lots of “deprecated” error types due to plugins / themes etc that yet is not updated. This will continuously keeping writing unnecessary traffic to the the autoloader. Our ISP has requested us to avoid this as much as possible. * Being able to debug is important, but I think you should add an option /check box to allow the user to enable / disable this feature when needed. This feature has more value when you need to debug rather than keeping it logging and writing to the autoloader each time a page is loaded. * We have often release of ticket sales to our event, causing severe high peak traffic, and such will contribute to avoid unnecessary traffic and reduce the load. * Allow the customer to decide if they want this feature on or off. Don’t you agree?

For now, please continue using the filter you mentioned to keep the debugger logs disabled, as that will prevent unnecessary entries from being stored. * I’ll also make sure to explain your concerns to the team so that they can evaluate the possibility of adding a toggle option in the settings for enabling or disabling this feature. * We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and the time you’ve taken to help us improve WP Statistics. * Best regards, Mehmet Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Autoloaded options – wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-statistics/assets/icon.svg?rev=3081064) * [WP Statistics – Simple, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-statistics/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-statistics/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-statistics/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-statistics/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-statistics/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-statistics/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Mehmet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gandomi/) * Last activity: [9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoloaded-options-wp_statistics_tracker_js_errors/#post-18632036) * Status: not resolved
