Heatlens adds click, mouse-movement and scroll heatmaps to your self-hosted Matomo. It works with the tracker you already have, keeps the data in your own database, and costs €299 once.
For self-hosted Matomo 5.14.1 or later, or Matomo 6. Not available on Matomo Cloud.
Every click on the page above lands on the heatmap. This is a demo running in your browser: nothing is sent anywhere.
No new tracking code: it extends matomo.js.
Your data stays in your Matomo database.
Pay once, keep it.
Three steps, all inside the Matomo you already run.
Unzip Heatlens.zip into Matomo's plugins/ folder, then activate Heatlens under Administration → Plugins. If your Matomo allows plugin uploads, you can also upload the zip from the Marketplace page.
Pick the pages, the devices and the share of visits to sample.
Once visits come in, open Heatmaps → Manage heatmaps and pick your campaign.
Switch views on the same page to see what people tap, where their cursor wanders and how far down they get. The average fold line shows what most visitors see before they scroll.
Each device gets its own heatmap, because a phone visitor and a laptop visitor read the same page differently. You set the width breakpoints.
Heatlens follows Matomo virtual page views. For views you load yourself, call:
_paq.push(['Heatlens.trackPageView'])
Target pages four ways:
Set a sampling rate, a cap on recorded pages and, if you like, how many days to keep the data. Pause, resume or delete a campaign any time.
Heatlens captures each page in the visitor's browser, masks it, and shows it in an isolated frame so the heatmap sits on what people actually saw.
Export a JSON report, or a PNG of the heatmap overlay to drop into a slide.
Find it under Heatmaps → Manage heatmaps, with Matomo's own cards and buttons, light and dark theme, in English and French. Site admins manage campaigns; anyone with view access can read the reports.
Heatlens is built so personal data never needs to leave the visitor's browser.
Consent is required by default. Heatlens follows Matomo's requireConsent and setConsentGiven, or your consent banner can call _paq.push(['Heatlens.setConsentGiven']) and _paq.push(['Heatlens.forgetConsentGiven']).
Everything lands in your own Matomo database. GDPR deletion requests and your Matomo retention settings purge heatmap data too.
Heatlens never contacts our servers: no online license check, no update check, no usage reporting. It keeps working on a server with no internet access.
Add data-matomo-mask or data-heatlens-mask to any element and it is masked before it leaves the page.
Inputs, textareas, selects and editable areas are masked on the visitor's device. Emails and runs of four or more digits are masked as a fallback, even in plain text.
| On the page | Visitor sees | Your Matomo stores |
|---|---|---|
| Email field | jane@mail.example | ••••••• |
| Delivery note | Ring twice | ••••• |
| Order text | Order 58213 | Order ••••• |

No. Matomo Cloud doesn't allow third-party plugins, so Heatlens needs self-hosted Matomo: 5.14.1 or later, or Matomo 6.
The one that matches your Matomo version: Heatlens for Matomo 5 or Heatlens for Matomo 6. Both cost €299. If you move from Matomo 5 to Matomo 6 later, the upgrade is paid, with a discount for existing customers.
One production Matomo instance plus one staging copy, and every website you run yourself. Moving to a new server is fine once you remove Heatlens from the old one. Agencies and hosting providers add a client website license for each website they track for a client: €10 per website, paid once. Buy client websites.
Unzip Heatlens.zip into the plugins/ folder of your Matomo, then activate Heatlens under Administration → Plugins.
To upload the zip from Matomo instead, Matomo must allow plugin uploads. It doesn't by default, for security reasons. A server administrator adds this line under [General] in config/config.ini.php:
enable_plugin_upload = 1
The upload button then appears under Administration → Marketplace. You can remove the line again once Heatlens is installed.
A self-hosted Matomo 5.14.1 or later with PHP 8.1+, or a self-hosted Matomo 6. You need a Matomo super user to install the plugin. Nothing changes on your websites: Heatlens uses the Matomo tracker they already load.
No. Heatlens extends the Matomo tracker (matomo.js) that's already on your site.
It's built for it: consent is required by default, form fields are masked in the browser, data stays on your server, and deletion requests purge heatmap data. You remain the data controller, so mark any personal information shown as plain text on your pages with data-heatlens-mask.
You pay once and keep using Heatlens forever. Updates within the edition you bought are free. A new major edition, for example the one for Matomo 6, is a paid upgrade at half the license price for existing customers. Each edition gets updates for at least three years after its Matomo version reaches end of life.
Both go through our support portal. With the license, we answer as soon as we can, without a guaranteed time. Priority support guarantees a first response within 4 hours of your ticket, 24/7, and adds hands-on help installing Heatlens and upgrading Matomo.
Every purchase comes with an invoice. Card payment goes through Stripe; bank transfer is available on request.
Yes, within 14 days if Heatlens doesn't work on your setup.
Not today. Heatlens draws heatmaps; it doesn't record or replay individual visits.
