Real-Time Widget for Matomo

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.
• Live Desktop Notifications: Get a system alert when someone visits your site or when a specific traffic threshold is reached.
• Audio Alerts: Optional sound notification for new visits.
