Google Analytics Opt-Out

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 90% run the current release. 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   How do I block Google Analytics beforehand with this plugin? The first time you visit Google Analytics has already tracked your visit. So I believe this plugin is not GDPR compliant! Because I am not sure if my assumptions above are correct I have changed the number of stars from 1 to 3. The plugin is great because of its simplicity.

   Great and helpful plugin! Only after installing version 2.1.2, all pages, front end and back end, show a warning that a higher PHP version is required (my site runs on an older PHP version), so I could not even uninstall this plugin, had to delete it through FTP (and downgrade to an older version from backup).

   Easy to use but not helpful for multi lingual pages yet. Will you change that and add input fields for every language?
