AJdG Matomo Tracker Plugin

Track all the stats you need. That’s the goal of AJdG 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. AJdG 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.

AJdG 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 AJdG 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 AJdG 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!

AJdG Matomo Tracker works with both self-hosted (on premise) and Matomo Cloud installations.
