Does Heatmap & Session Recording work as a standalone product?
No, the Heatmap & Session Recording plugin is built on top of Matomo Analytics (formerly Piwik Analytics). To use it, you first need to install Matomo. Matomo requires PHP, a MySQL database and a webserver like Apache or Nginx. Learn more about Matomo.
Alternatively, to take away the hassle of installing and maintaining your own Matomo, signup to our Matomo Cloud (formerly Piwik Cloud) service.
