What are « actions » in Matomo? How do I find my number of actions per month?

An ‘Action’ in Matomo (Piwik) is counted whenever a visitor:

• visits a Page,
• clicks on a Download or on an external link,
• when a visitor searches on your website search engine,
• whenever an event is tracked.

In Matomo reporting interface, all reports related to your visitors’ actions are listed under the left menu category « Behavior ».

To find the number of actions tracked per month, go to Matomo, and open the « All Websites » dashboard. In the calendar, select « Month », then click on the previous month, and click « Apply ». The number of actions per month is displayed at the top next to the « All Websites dashboard » title.
