How to run WordPress Statistics Reports
WordPress websites’ statistics reports can come in handy if you would like to generate a report to see for example how many times a user logged in, or how many posts, pages, or custom post types the user(s) have viewed.

You can generate any of the following statistics reports:
- Number of logins for all users
- Number of newly registered users
