• Unfortunately the free version of this plugin is extremely limiting to the point of being nearly useless. Most themes now allow you to easily embed a Google Analytics code, but what separates this plugin is its ability to show Google Analytics stats from within the WordPress dashboard. Unfortunately the vast majority of the analytics are behind a paywall of their premium subscriptions.

    Hi @webofpress,

    Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

    I’m sorry about our free version seeming not useful or feeling too limited, we try to provide as much value as possible to our users by communicating the Pro version features because a lot of users aren’t aware of them and can benefit greatly.

    With MonsterInsights Lite, you’re able to track and view critical site statistics (such as page views in the last 30 days, top posts and pages, etc) and automatically track the following custom events:

    • Download link tracking
    • Affiliate link tracking
    • Outbound link tracking
    • Telephone link tracking
    • Email link tracking
    • Custom link click events

    To learn a bit more about our features, please click here.

    We also include two summary reports: stats at a glance, and a monthly email report. This is alongside other useful tools like a headline analyzer, a UTM URL builder, a widget for displaying the most popular posts, to help increase site engagement. When making any changes to your site, you can also add a site note to help keep track of the impact it has on your analytics.

    We really appreciate you for giving us a try and if you have any suggestions for the things you’d like to see in the Lite version, please let me know and I’d be happy to share your feedback with the team.

    Thank you!
