Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Real-Time Widget for Matomo version 1.4.6 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin adds a native widget to the WordPress dashboard that connects to your Matomo On-Premise installation to display vital metrics in real-time.
Unlike other plugins that use iframes (often blocked for security) or synchronous PHP requests (which slow down the admin area), this widget uses a 100% JavaScript (Client-Side) architecture.
Your WordPress server performs no requests; the browser queries your Matomo API directly.
Key Features:
Zero Server Impact: All processing is done in the client’s browser.
Pure Real-Time: Visitor counters and logs update automatically every 10 seconds.
Smart Hybrid Chart: Combines historical data (cached) with real-time data from the current day for total accuracy.
Performance Monitor: Detailed chart of load times (Network, Server, DOM…) and visit duration metrics.
“Black Box” Tooltips: Detailed, accessible information on hover, with visual differentiation for Searches, Downloads, Outlinks, and Events.
Privacy-Friendly: IP masking and visitor ID hashing included.
Native Notifications: Desktop alerts and optional sound when new visits arrive or traffic thresholds are met.
