Import historical data from Google Analytics or WP Statistics Premium paid features: Heatmaps & Session Recordings Form Analytics Media Analytics Funnels SEO features – Keyword rankings Custom reporting Cohorts Users flow Prerequisites and technical requirements: Running Matomo Analytics on your server can use significant resources. Whenever someone visits your WordPress website, your server will need to serve your WordPress pages to the user, as well as tracking the user journey in Matomo, resulting in an additional request for each page view. The minimum PHP memory limit is 128Mb, but we recommend to use a higher limit (memory_limit = 256M). PHP 7.2 at minimum is required. From Matomo 6 onwards, PHP 8.1, MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6 will be required at minimum. If your server does not meet those requirements, the plugin will not update to Matomo 6 and will tell you what needs upgrading. If you have high traffic website, or manage a lot of websites with WordPress MultiSite, we recommend installing Matomo On-Premise or signup to Matomo Cloud and install the Connect Matomo plugin instead.

Third party resources we use: After activating this plugin, it will download a Geolocation database (DBIP-City.mmdb) from DB IP into your uploads directory. The DB-IP database is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. This database is needed to detect the location of your visitors based on their IP.
