Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics”, “google analytics plugin” and “google analytics” for “analytics dashboard”, “google analytics 4” and “analytic”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “analytics dashboard” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “google analytics 4” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “analytic” sits at #24 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 →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 80K of 6.5M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 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 6 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “analytics”, “google analytics plugin” and “google analytics” for “analytics dashboard”, “google analytics 4” and “analytic”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “analytics dashboard” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “google analytics 4” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google analytics” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “analytic” sits at #24 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 dashboard”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “google analytics widget”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ dewbob2.7y ago
I have been trying for days to get this to work. It just won’t. The set-up wizard does not display the property I want to use, and there is no way to manually add it. The support is severely lacking (no response). No help documentation. (and what there is doesn’t match current functionality.) Sincerely disappointed with this experience. I wish WordPress would removed junk plugins such as this.

Like all Google inspired analytics products this uses gobbledygook rather than plain English. For example ‘press the button above’ when there is no button. Useless. I’d give it zero stars if I could
