GA Google Analytics – Connect Google Analytics to WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I installed the plugin hoping for a seamless solution to handle Google Analytics tracking and GDPR/EU consent management. Unfortunately, the plugin failed to deliver on multiple fronts: Connection Issues: It could not connect properly with my website, even after following all setup instructions. Google Analytics Integration: The tracking code was not implemented correctly, resulting in no data being sent to Google Analytics. Consent Management Failure: The plugin struggled to handle GDPR/EU cookie consent properly. Despite configuration, consent wasn’t reliably applied, leaving the compliance questionable. Overall, this plugin turned out to be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. I had to manually intervene to fix what it claimed to automate. I cannot recommend this plugin if you’re looking for a reliable and hassle-free solution.

   Great plugin. It just adds the Google tracking code. No bloat. No junk. Awesome.

   Much lighter and less disturbing than MonsterInsights plugin while also can disable tracking of Admin-level users. It’s what I was looking for

   Saw that the plug was deactivated and google tag managers shows me that the G4 Containter sent 0 hits. I activated the plug again and now it works fine.
