Biggest opportunity: Swap “google tag manager”, “google analytics” and “wordpress analytics” for “google analytics 4”, “analytics dashboard” and “analytics”. “google tag manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google analytics 4” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “analytics dashboard” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “analytics” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →9.9%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 201K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,006 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “google tag manager”, “google analytics” and “wordpress analytics” for “google analytics 4”, “analytics dashboard” and “analytics”. “google tag manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google analytics 4” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “analytics dashboard” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “analytics” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “google analytics”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “wordpress analytics”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

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.

It will be wonderful, if it is possible to show on the frontpage with a widget, statistics of visits on the frontpage of the site.

The plugin keep asking for a review and can not click it away, i think that is spam in wordpress This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by bathweb.

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.

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!

Does not work with the Google Login Option. Just says there is no data yet when there is in GA. The plugin did take a week or so to start working, but with support and time, the plugin started to work. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by CypressWebs. Reason: Plugin Review Update

I develop plugins for my clients and I know how difficult this process is. My head spins whenever I look at any WPDEVMU plugin when I think of the work involved to accomplish something so functional and beautiful to work with (I’m an incredible fan Branda as well). The setup was incredibly simple, install, authorize in Google Analytics and you are done. It then asks which roles should have permissions to see this – this is fantastic! I love having this level of control with the roles that I have implemented into my current website. I used Monster Insights prior to this and the bloat that they insert everywhere (even at the front end for logged in users) is unjustifiable. This plugin is clean, professionally written, and prioritizes on functionality, performance, and features above all. Kudos to the team! 👏👏👏
