Include Matomo Tracking, by Jonas Hellmann vs Machete

This plugin lets you integrate your existing Matomo On-Premise into WordPress. If you don’t already have a working Matomo (either On-Premise or Matomo Cloud), use the Matomo Analytics plugin instead. Matomo, formerly called Piwik, is an self-hosted open-source tool to analyze your pages. It needs a tracking code to be included in the pages that should be monitored. Also campaigns can be created by using specific parameters in the URL. Therefore in this plugin, you can configure the URL where Matomo is hosted and the site ID for tracking your WordPress page. You can find it in the tracking code. You only need to fill in these both information. The rest of the tracking code is standartized and automatically inserted in the page. Also, you can set a campaign name (pk_campaign) and source (pk_source) which will be adds to the links in your RSS feed. This helps you to analyze how many users enter your pages by using your RSS feed. If you like to, there is an additional field to deactivate the usage of cookies by Matomo.

Machete is a simple suite of tools that solves common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as possible. Machete doesn’t cover every single use case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: WordPress Optimization WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatibility or to enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookies & GDPR Warning We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the least hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, doesn’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy tasks like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom stylesheet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accessibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager tracking codes are PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly. Maintenance mode The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress is just a basic lock-down that is activated whenever you do a major update. With machete Maintenance Mode you can hide your unfinished page from visitors and search engines, give your clients a secure temporary access and lock your site without affecting your SEO. Post & Page cloner Adds a “duplicate” link to post, page and most post types lists. Also adds “copy to new draft” function to the post editor. Social Sharing Buttons Social sharing done the Machete way. The icons are made as a custom webfont embedded in a minified CSS file that only weighs 5.8KB. The sharing actions use each platform’s native share URL. WooCommerce Utils WooCommerce was designed to work for every possible use case, but that often leads to unexpected behavior. These simple fixes can improve the WooCommerce user experience by making it behave as clients expect.
