Analytics Plugin
With the analytics plugin, you can add Matomo, Fathom, or Google Analytics to your website. The plugin integrates the tracking scripts at the bottom of the page.
Matomo
If you care about data privacy, open source, and self hosted software, then Matomo is a recommended solution. You can download Matomo and install it on your own server. The plugin requires two information:
- The url to your Matomo installation.
- The ID of your site in Matomo.
Fathom
If you do not want to self-host your own analytics software but still need a good privacy solution, then Fathom Analytics might be a good option. Simply add the fathom-url and your fathom-id. The fathom integration has been added by Andreas Zettl.
Google Analytics
Matomo is a perfect option if you care about privacy and usability. However, many webmasters use Google Analytics, just because they do not want to host another software. Just add your Google Site ID into the plugin configurations and you are ready to go.
