Using the bandwidth plugin

  • Hi, if I log into my Matomo site and go to the Visitors Overview page, it always shows “0 M Bytes transferred overall”.

    I believe this is because the Bandwidth plugin is not receiving any bandwidth data.

    Is this WordPress plugin able to utilise this plugin to provide the bytes transferred, as described here?….

    To do so, WP-Matomo has to get the bandwidth data from somewhere. Do you have a WordPress plugin or a code snippet on how to do this?

    No, I don’t have such a plugin or code snippet. Are you aware of one that can do this?

    Is the WP-Matomo plugin not able to generate this data itself? Maybe as a new feature?

    Incidentally: does the “bandwidth” just mean the size of the page that is viewed (ie. size of text and pictures etc in bytes)? Or does it mean something else?

    No, I don’t want to add this as a feature. WP-Matomo is not in the position to do an overall bandwidth measure for your whole WordPress, and extending it to do so does not make sense. This should be done by a specific plugin.

    The bandwidth is the size of the request + size of the page + the additional data which is send with each requests (headers). But it may be less than the sum, e.g., if some of the images are cached on client-site. So it’s not that easy and should be done by the web server in the best case.
