Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing SysWP Radar.
  1. Who are some of the biggest customers of SysWP Radar?

    Radar is in public beta launching May 2026, so we don't yet have public reference customers to disclose. Early access users include WordPress agencies and independent publishers in Brazil, with the public launch focused on the Brazilian agency market before expanding to LATAM and English-speaking customers, but its LATAM and English-speaking customers ready

    Founding-tier slots are open during the launch window — case studies will be published as early customers reach milestones.

  2. What makes SysWP Radar unique?

    Radar is the only privacy-first analytics platform built server-side from the ground up that simultaneously answers three questions Google Analytics can't:

    Who's actually visiting? — Server-side pixel + classifier separates humans, search crawlers, AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot), and attackers in real time. GA misses ~30-40% of your traffic because it's client-side JS — bots don't execute JS.

    Who's attacking you right now? — Detects WordPress probes (wp-login.php, xmlrpc.php, /wp-json/), reconnaissance scans, and bot floods. Surfaces top attackers, attack patterns, and per-IP/per-session drill-downs.

    Should I block them? — When an attack alert fires, Radar uses an LLM to synthesize a defensive WAF rule, validates it against your last 7 days of legitimate traffic ("site-scoped Red Team"), and lets you approve it with one click — pushing it to SysWP Shield.

    No other product does all three. Plausible/Fathom do #1 (humans only). Cloudflare does #2 (no analytics). No one does #3.

  3. Why should a person choose SysWP Radar over its competitors?

    Sees what GA can't: Server-side means you catch GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, sqlmap, scrapers — none of which run JavaScript. Critical in 2026 as AI crawlers become a meaningful share of traffic.

    LGPD/GDPR compliant by default: No cookies, no PII, no consent banner needed. Brazilian DPO registered, data residency in São Paulo.

    Dual-purpose: It's analytics AND a security telemetry layer. One pixel replaces GA + a basic bot-detection tool.

    Price: Starter at $5/mo (R$29 in Brazil) — about half the cost of Plausible/Fathom for richer data.

    WordPress supercharger: Works on any site, but the optional WP plugin adds attack-pattern detection, login-probe alerts, and a 1-click integration with SysWP Shield (WAF) — a stack no competitor offers.

  4. How would you describe the primary audience of SysWP Radar?

    1- WordPress agencies and freelancers managing 5–50 client sites. They need to (a) prove traffic value to clients, (b) catch security incidents before they become breaches, and (c) replace GA without losing visibility. Brazil-first, expanding LATAM and English-speaking markets.

    2- SaaS founders, content publishers, and bloggers who care about privacy compliance (LGPD/GDPR), want to know how often AI bots are scraping their content, and don't want to maintain a GA + bot-protection stack separately.

    3- Security-conscious developers running personal projects who want server-side analytics without a Google account.

  5. What's the story behind SysWP Radar?

    SysWP Radar is the entry product of the SysWP trinity — three SaaS tools built for the WordPress ecosystem: Shield (WAF), Pulse (uptime/performance), and Radar (traffic intelligence).

    The founder kept hitting the same problem at agency clients: Google Analytics showed clean traffic graphs while the server logs were full of wp-login.php brute-force attempts, xmlrpc.php probes, and AI scrapers eating bandwidth. GA literally can't see any of it — it's client-side JavaScript, and attackers/bots don't execute JS. So clients thought they were safe while their servers were on fire.

    Radar started as the answer: a server-side pixel that sees everything, classifies it intelligently, and — critically — closes the loop with Shield to actually block the bad actors. Brasil-first because the WordPress agency scene there is huge and underserved by US-priced tools, with the architecture designed from day one to scale internationally with locale-aware pricing.

    The flywheel matters: every alert in Radar can become a Shield rule, validated by AI against the site's own legitimate traffic. Cross-tenant caching means when one site sees a sqlmap attack, all 100 sites get the synthesized rule.

  6. Which are the primary technologies used for building SysWP Radar?

    Backend: PHP 8 (vanilla, no framework), PSR-4 autoload Database: MySQL 8 / MariaDB with partitioned tables for hot pixel data Frontend: Tailwind CSS, ECharts for visualizations, vanilla JS (no SPA framework) Web server: Apache with .htaccess routing Email: n8n webhooks (no provider keys in the SaaS itself — all transactional mail via webhook → Mailgun/SES) Geo IP: Cloudflare CF-IPCountry header → cached fallback to ip-api.com AI/LLM: OpenRouter (Claude 3.5 Haiku for rule synthesis, ~$0.008 per synthesized rule) Billing: Stripe (cURL direct, no SDK), locale-aware pricing in BRL/USD Security integration: HMAC-SHA256 signed cross-product API calls with SysWP Shield Hosting: Brazilian VPS (data residency for LGPD), Cloudflare in front

    We built Radar after years of watching our WordPress sites get hammered by AI crawlers and attackers that Google Analytics, Plausible, and Fathom completely ignored. JavaScript-only analytics is great for human visitors — but 30-60% of your traffic isn't human, and that traffic is your hosting bill, your security risk, and (now) your AI search visibility. Radar captures all of it server-side, without breaking Core Web Vitals or requiring a cookie banner. Free tier is real — no credit card, no expiration. The first GPTBot or sqlmap hit usually shows up within minutes of install. We're a small team based in Brazil — happy to help with setup or answer questions at aporce@syswp.com.br.
