Create and manage websites

Cloud On-Premise

Matomo can be used to track an unlimited number of websites. Matomo can track pages on multiple domains and subdomains. Most users track from 1 to 10 websites, but some Matomo servers track more than 10,000 websites!

Add a Website

You must be logged in to Matomo as the Superuser to add a new Website. Click on Administration Settings Cog Icon > Measurables (or Websites) > Manage. This page is used to create, update and delete websites.

Click on Add a new website to create a new site in Matomo. The website form shows all the options you can specify:

These are the attributes that you can specify for each website:

  1. Name: the website’s name
  2. Alias URLs: domains and subdomains that are tracked in this website. This will ensure that tracked domains don’t appear in the Referrer report.
  3. Excluded IPs: a list of IPs, or IP ranges (132.4.3.* or 143.2..) to be excluded from being tracked on all websites.
  4. Excluded Parameters: URL query parameters that should be excluded from URLs, for example session parameters. This will ensure your Behaviour > Pages reports stay clean and easy to analyse.
  5. Time zone: each website will report data in its given time zone. If you update the website time zone, only the reports going forward will be affected.
  6. Currency: the currency symbol will be displayed next to revenue in your goals.
  7. Ecommerce: if your website is an Ecommerce store you can enable the Ecommerce reports

You can also specify Matomo-wide values for these attributes at the bottom of the page. For example, you can set a list of IPs to exclude on all websites and URL parameters to always exclude from tracked page URLs on all websites.

Update and Delete Websites

Go to Administration Settings Cog Icon > Measurables (or Websites) > Manage.

  • To update a website, click the Edit icon, update the relevant fields, and then press Save.
  • To delete a website, click the Delete icon next to the Website name (on the right).

Caution: Deleting a website is irreversible and it will also delete any associated Matomo Tag Manager containers. When pressing the delete icon, you will be prompted to save a copy of container configurations. To proceed with deleting the website, enter your superuser password to confirm.
