The best Google Analytics WordPress Plugin

hatisenang March 5, 2023 1 reply

I’ve tried a bunch of different Google Analytics plugins for WordPress, but this one is by far my favorite. It’s incredibly straightforward to use, and the dashboard is user-friendly. I hope it continues to be free and doesn’t follow the path of some of the previous plugins that became paid ones. One thing that would make it even better is the option to change the default range on the Dashboard Widget.

Love it

keep spamming

bathweb May 6, 2022 2 replies

The plugin keep asking for a review and can not click it away, i think that is spam in wordpress

Good But Lacks Some Basic Features

Aronu February 26, 2021 1 reply

1. The preset time range for the GA stats doesn’t include the “Last 7 Days”, “Last 30 Days” & “Last 90 Days”. I have to select the date range manually which is stressful. 2. I think the percentage of traffic coming from each source should be included. For example, The percentage of visitors coming from Search Engines, Social, Referral or Direct. 3. It doesn’t say how many visitors are coming from mobile, tablet or desktop. It doesn’t also say how many visitors are returning and how many are new.

Modern GA packed with features and great support

mistergeko January 25, 2021 1 reply

There are many GA plugins out there. If you are looking for one that has modern interface, a dashboard widget and lots of features and really nice support team, look no further!
