Alternatively, there is also a basic integration with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/" rel="ugc">TablePress plugin</a>.

Controls for Contact Form 7 (Redirects, Analytics & Tracking)

Works Great!!! Having issues with the Contact 7 Form sample code. Found this plugin which creates easy functionality. Thanks for making our lives easier!! 

Works Great!!

Very useful plugin!
I would love to see an Autocomplete Option to turn Autocomplete OFF for ALL forms. By default fields have Autocomplete ON. Although it's possible to change it by field attribute, I'd found it easier to have a global settings to disable Autocomplete for all forms.

Love to see Autocomplete Setting

Track all the stats you need. That’s the goal of Matomo Tracker. And it doesn’t get any more simple than that. 
While other plugins are bloated with all kinds of barely-used features or add bulky dashboards. Matomo Tracker does not.
Easily add the Matomo tracking code to your websites footer in under a minute with only a few clicks. Optionally extend the tracker with some useful features that both help you understand your visitors better and help you optimize the effectiveness of your website, and even SEO.
Matomo Tracker is designed to be barebones but still provide a complete experience for the majority of people. 
Collect all the stats you need via the built-in Matomo tracking code. 
Easily track dead links or in-links that end up on 404 error pages so you can effectively take action and fix those issues. As a result, Google will like you more!
Do you use RSS and Atom feeds? Ever wondered how effective they are? Yeah, me too! 
With Matomo Tracker you can track incoming clicks from your RSS and Atom feeds.
Matomo is a great tool if you don’t want to use Jetpack Stats, WP-Statistics and especially Google Analytics. 
Or simply if you want a second opinion. On my own websites I’ve used both Jetpack Stats and Matomo – Ofcourse I used Matomo Tracker to add the Matomo tracking code to my footer. 
Matomo can replace Google Analytics. If you use their self-hosted solution all data you record is yours without big data watching over your shoulder.
No nonsense, just stats tracking!
Matomo Tracker works with both self-hosted (on premise) and Matomo Cloud installations.

Even though the plugin is advertised with "No nonsense, just stats!", it still contains nonsense. In regular intervals, you are bothered with a banner that calls to rate the plugin. Unfortunately, the banner reappears from time to time, even if you have turned it off.



The plugin also contains a functional unattractive feature. When you deactivate the plugin, all settings are deleted. In my opinion it would be better to remove all plugin settings when deleting, not when deactivating.


A good plugin with a little nonsense

The easiest way to track visitors in Matomo. No nonsense, just stats!
