Analytics Insights – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress

This is the successor of the beloved Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (GADWP) plugin. Simple and great, just like all plugins should be.

Simple and great!


This plugin has everything to be good, it's lightweight, it allows you to display statistics for customers, however, it has a problem that annoys me…. Almost every week I have to give authorization to access the Google account to display the statistics.I've tried other similar plugins and this error doesn't happen, so it's a point to improve for the plugin to be one of the best.


Requires constant authorization


Thank you! Thank you! Many thanks for picking up this plugin after the previous developer sold it out to a horrible company. I've been using this plugin on several sites without any problems for some time.


Many thanks!

A full-featured and entirely free Google Analytics Dashboard plugin for WordPress. Displays stats to help you to better understand your site content.

MonsterInsights – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (Website Stats Made Easy)


Mostra de forma simples, para todos, o poder da web


É belo


Worst plugin I was used.



He is spamming lisence links on every where, with monster icon is crazy. Blocked and never recommend for anyone.


Not free, spamming

Great Plugin for analytics


Поставил я плагин All in one seo pack. Прошел его настройку - просто согласившись - нажимая далее, чтобы быстрей это окно закрылось. И потом вижу что они принудительно видимо галку где-то там на Google Analytics для WordPress от MonsterInsights поставили. Этот плагин поставили и активировали.



Ставлю единицу команде разработчиков за такое поведение. нельзя галку ставить принудительно. Я сам должен ставить галку если хочу чтобы вы мне еще что-то стороннее ставили.


Поставили плагин не предупредив


The paid version really does seem promising. However, the free version is so barebones that you are better off using a different plugin that does the same job but is not cluttered with ads for $200 upgrades.


Mediocre (Free Version)


An update of MonsterInsights has automatically turned on email reports across all of my sites.



I am now having to login into all of the sites to turn the setting off.



This is bad practise to force a setting on users. Yes, install the functionality but NEVER turn it on automatically.



Poor form


Changing Settings Without Permission


Used to be an easy way to add Google Analytics to customers' websites. Now all it does is spam the admin interface and, as of the last 48 hours or so, also your email address. Without an option to unsubscribe. Or rather there's an option to unsubscribe, which takes you to an option which SHOULD let you unsubscribe, but it's greyed out. It's the final nail in the coffin for this plugin as far as I'm concerned: I'm having to write a spam filter specifically for MonsterInsights' emails, and I'm slowly replacing it across all customer websites. I'll be glad to be shot of it and its relentless, unnecessary nagging.


Spam spam spam spam spam


After setting up the plugin, it automatically - and without asking for permissions - install a few more plugins from the same creator that start to hammer you for upgrades. Worse, one of the plugins is an "SEO" tool that will conflict with another "SEO" tool that you may have installed and then demand that you turn off the other tool.



If you don't know that you need this plugin, and/or you don't intend to buy multiple "monster" pro licenses - do not install this plugin.


Useful, but auto-installs a bunch of plugings w/o confirmation


Useless in the basic version. Overloaded with self-promotion, closed sections that you have to pay for. Messages about how you need to subscribe to Pro will pop up from all corners of your user interface.



No, thank you. Goodbye.


useless in basic version


It does well what it says it does. The simplest way of adding Google Analytics to your site


Very good


The developers have confirmed that the only way to install the plugin gives them permission to delete all of your Google Ads campaigns and modify your billing information (to let them receive the income), even though this is an Analytics plugin.



DO NOT INSTALL.


Malware - do not install
