Hi MainWP Team,
I am a happy user and I’ve been using MainWP for more than 10 years to manage my sites, and I really appreciate the platform—it saves me a ton of time.
I would love to see an extension developed for Umami Analytics.
With the increasing complexity of GA4 and the growing focus on privacy (GDPR), many of us in the WordPress community are moving away from Google Analytics.
I believe Umami Analytics is a perfect fit for the MainWP ecosystem for several reasons:
Self-Hosted Philosophy: Like MainWP, Umami is open-source and can be self-hosted. This aligns perfectly with users who prefer to own their own data.
Privacy-Focused: It is GDPR compliant and often doesn't require cookie banners, which is a huge plus for client sites.
Cost-Effective: It is completely free when self-hosted.
Lightweight: It collects the essential data without bloating the websites.
It would be incredibly valuable to have a MainWP extension that connects to a self-hosted Umami instance (or their cloud version) and pulls basic stats (Visitors, Pageviews, Bounce Rate) into the MainWP Dashboard for each child site—similar to how the Google Analytics extension works today.
I really believe this would be a popular addition for agencies and developers focused on privacy and data ownership.
Keep up the great work!
Best regards,
Chrilles
