  • Good Plugin but Lacks Author's View

    Its a good plugin. However on multi author site, we lose the ability to add a dimension for counting the author's views. That is an important aspect. Kindly add it.

  • Hands down the best plugin for adding Google Analytics

    I landed on this plugin after trying Flying Scripts. As boring as this plugin is, it felt great installing this and just seeing a simple form that allows me to paste in my GA code, and get working analytics. Theres 100 other plugins that do this, but they all feel like a free-2-play app. You're hit with ads, banners, and upsells. This just works.

  • Simple but Dusted!

    Definitely easy to use, support GA 4.0, and self-hosted the script also. A complete solution.
