Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Matomo server?

Yes. This plugin connects to your self-hosted or Matomo Cloud instance. You need the URL, Site ID, and an API token with view permission.

Why not just use the official Matomo plugin?

This plugin is lighter, faster, and focused: perfect tracking + beautiful graphs with zero configuration hassle.

Are graphs cached?

Yes! Data is cached for 24 hours and refreshed automatically.

Does it work in widgets or page builders?

Yes! Use [matomo_visits] anywhere — Gutenberg, Elementor, Classic Editor, text widgets — it just works.

Is the API token secure?

Yes. The token is sent via POST and never appears in logs or browser history.
