What it does
If you look after several WordPress sites with MainWP, checking analytics usually means jumping between the dashboard and another tool. This extension connects Matomo, the open-source and privacy-focused analytics platform, to your MainWP setup. Visitor statistics, page-level data and engagement figures for each connected site then appear inside the dashboard you already use for updates and maintenance, so traffic checks become part of your normal site management routine.
The extension syncs Matomo data into MainWP automatically, so the numbers stay current without manual imports. You can watch live visitor activity, see which pages hold attention and which need work, and build reports for the metrics and time frames you care about. Because Matomo keeps visitor data under your ownership with no third-party tracking, it suits freelancers and agencies who want useful analytics for client sites while keeping privacy in view. It requires the MainWP Dashboard plugin.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites through MainWP
- Freelancers who report traffic figures to clients
- Site owners who prefer privacy-focused Matomo analytics
