Highlight.io Session Recording

Easily integrate Highlight.io's powerful session recording and monitoring capabilities into your WordPress site.

monolytics

<p>Monolytics helps WordPress teams connect their site to Monolytics Cloud without manually copying tracking code.</p>
<p>With the plugin installed, a WordPress admin can:</p>
<ul>
<li>connect the current site to Monolytics from <code>wp-admin</code></li>
<li>verify whether the site is connected</li>
<li>review whether DataLayer event tracking is enabled</li>
<li>see how many sessions have been tracked for the connected domain in the current billing cycle</li>
<li>disconnect the site locally without deleting the Monolytics domain or historical analytics data</li>
<li>open the connected Monolytics dashboard in the correct site context</li>
</ul>
<h4>External services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to Monolytics-hosted services to authenticate the WordPress admin, create or reuse the connected site in Monolytics, and fetch canonical domain settings.</p>
<p>The plugin does not contact Monolytics until a WordPress administrator explicitly starts the connect flow from <code>wp-admin</code>.</p>
<p>It communicates with:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>https://monolytics.app/</code> as the public Monolytics service website</li>
<li><code>https://api.monolytics.app</code> for plugin onboarding, connection state, and canonical domain settings</li>
<li><code>https://cloud.monolytics.app</code> for the hosted Monolytics authentication and dashboard experience</li>
<li><code>https://cloud.monolytics.app/tracker.js</code> only after the site is connected and local tracking stays enabled on the public front end</li>
</ul>
<p>When a site is connected, the plugin may send:</p>
<ul>
<li>the current WordPress site URL</li>
<li>the WordPress site name</li>
<li>the generated installation and domain identifiers required for the connected setup flow</li>
<li>plugin setting updates such as the DataLayer interception state</li>
</ul>
<p>These requests are required so Monolytics can create or reuse the correct connected site and keep WordPress plugin settings aligned with the canonical Monolytics domain configuration.</p>
