<p>The Better Google Analytics plugin allows you to easily add Google Analytics code to your website and gives you the power to track virtually everything.  Better Google Analytics includes heat maps, reports, charts, events and site issue tracking in your WordPress admin area without the need to log into your Google Analytics account.</p>
<p>Better Google Analytics allows you to manage your Google Analytics account from within your WordPress admin area (for example you can create/edit Google Analytics Goals).</p>
<p>In addition, Better Google Analytics makes A/B (split) testing a breeze (no code required) so you can find what variations work the best for your site by using Google Analytics Content Experiments.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Simple To Setup</strong></p>
<p>The Better Google Analytics plugin can automatically configure your Google Analytics account to maximize what you can track with the minimum amount of effort.  Can automatically set various options on your Google Analytics account on your behalf as well as create custom dimensions and map them to where they need to go.  If you are setting up a brand new site, this plugin can even create a brand new Web Property within your selected Google Analytics account if you wish.  All with a single click.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Better Google Analytics utilizes all the latest and greatest features of Google Analytics (Universal analytics, user-ID session unification, event tracking, campaign tracking, custom dimensions, server-side tracking, social engagement tracking, remarketing, etc.)  Additionally, Better Analytics can track users who are visiting AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) on your site.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>If you link your Google Analytics account, the Better Google Analytics plugin is able to make extensive use of the Google Analytics API to give you a plethora of reporting options (both historical and realtime).  Google Analytics API calls are cached to make them as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Better Google Analytics uses lightweight (and client-side cacheable) JavaScript to give your users the fastest possible experience on your website.  Fully compatible with multisite network setups.</p>

<h3>Note To Other Google Analytics Plugin Authors</h3>
<p>Truthfully, there are far too many Google Analytics plugins for WordPress that generally do the same thing (especially the ones that simply add Google Analytics code to WordPress pages).  If any Google Analytics plugin authors are interested in somehow consolidating plugins, let us know (not really sure how that would work to be honest, but something we could brainstorm and figure out the best way to do it that works for everyone).</p>
<h3>CDN</h3>
<p>The JavaScript used by Better Google Analytics should be able to be cached properly by content delivery networks (it has been tested with CloudFlare).  This means if your site uses CloudFlare, the JavaScript code used by Google Analytics will be cached in their data centers and delivered to end users via the closest data center (long story short is that it will make for a faster user experience).</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thank you to all the individuals who have contributed translations for Better Google Analytics (please send us a note if you have helped translating Better Google Analytics):</p>

<p><strong>This Plugin Will No Longer Work With Google Analytics on July 1, 2023</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Google Analytics 4, is replacing Universal Analytics. On July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will stop processing new data. This means that any Universal Analytics data that you’re using in Google Ads campaigns will start to degrade and your ad performance may be impacted. We strongly recommend that you make the switch to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-conversion-pixel/" rel="ugc">Google Analytics 4</a> as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Analytics Cat – Google Analytics is a lean, fast, simple, no-frills way to add your Google Analytics / Universal Google Analytics code to your WordPress site.</p>
<p>This bloat-free, simple Google Analytics WordPress plugin doesn’t add tons of features. Instead, Analytics Cat – Google Analytics simply focuses on letting you add your Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) Code to your site in less than 2 minutes, without slowing your site down.</p>
<h4>Which features does Analytics Cat – Google Analytics have?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add the Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) tracking code to your WordPress site with ease.</li>
<li>Hide your Google Analytics tracking code from logged-in users so you don’t pollute your data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use Analytics Cat – Google Analytics?</h4>
<p>There are multiple ways to add the Google Analytics tracking code to your WordPress site.</p>
<p><strong>1. Pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme</strong><br />
This approach isn’t great for two reasons:<br />
a) If you edit your live site and make a mistake when pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme, you could take down your website.<br />
b) If your theme is updated with new features or security fixes, your Google Analytics code will be overwritten.</p>
<p><strong>2. Pasting your Google Analytics script into a header/footer script plugin</strong><br />
This is a valid approach, but has some disadvantages. General purposes “header script plugins” aren’t built from the ground-up to support Google Analytics.</p>
<p>What this means is that :<br />
a) These plugins lack Google Analytics-specific functionality.<br />
b) These plugins will not adapt if Google Analytics changes again. Since Analytics Cat is a dedicated Google Analytics WordPress plugin, we’ll make sure make sure to stay compatible with future changes to Google Analytics.<br />
c) These plugins usually don’t support hiding your Google Analytics code from logged-in users.</p>
<p><strong>3. Using Some Other Google Analytics WordPress Plugin</strong><br />
There are some good Google Analytics plugins out there, but many of them are bloated, have too many settings and are slow.</p>
<p>You’ll love Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Cat iff what you want is a simple, reliable Google Analytics plugin,</p>
<h4>Does Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Plugin work with Universal Analytics?</h4>
<p>Yes. Analytics Cat is built from the ground up to support Universal Analytics.</p>
<p>Analytics Cat – Google Analytics does not work with the old Google Analytics script that Google deprecated.</p>
<h4>Can I hide my Google Analytics tracking code from logged in users?</h4>
<p>Yes. You can hide your Google Analytics code from logged in users by going to Settings -> Google Analytics Manager.</p>
<h4>Is Analytics Cat – Google Analytics easy to translate?</h4>
<p>Yes. Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Cat is fully translateable. Please let us know if you’re interested in contributing.</p>
<h4>Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Feature Roadmap</h4>
