Matomo Analytics – Powerful, Privacy-First Insights for WordPress

A great tool for tracking website users and the behavior on site.

Nice tool

Tried it and got broken pages when I was trying to see stats. It complained about an ad block, but disabling that only removed the complaining message. The admin pages were not fully loading. It also appears to be using javascript and not keeping things internal.

Needs Work

Better than Google Analytics!


Great thing! I tried this as an alternative to GA a while ago, and since then I've been using only this analytics for all my clients. 1. it's open source, loads from your server and stores data in your database2. it loads faster than GA, and unlike GA isn't locked by Firefox, Brave, and others (due to the first fact, that it's loaded from your website)3. it has great UI and UXThe available reports in times better than the crappy GA reports, and built-in Woo tracking that works out-of-the-box is a very nice thing.I had a small thing to figure out, and contacted the support here, in the wp.org forum. The reply was instant. 5+ and highly recommend it to everybody!


Amazing Google Analytics alternative


I'm using Matomo in my WordPress sites. I would recommend it for all.


Super complete solution

Privacy friendly, GDPR compliant and self-hosted. Matomo is the #1 Google Analytics alternative that gives you control of your data. Free and secure.
