Site Kit by Google – Analytics, Search Console, AdSense, Speed

Awesome

Useful tool..


It is a good pluginBut its loading speed is slow.


Good but with slow loading speed

Best option for using GA


This agent plugin is a comprehensive tool designed to report all incoming and outgoing activity on your website to Google. Despite this, Google still struggles to fully understand real organic visitor behaviors. As a result, without employing SEO tactics or purchasing backlinks and visitors, your website's performance may not improve. I used my website, webmarketinspot.com, primarily as a notebook for marketing tips. However, if your goal is to attract organic traffic, it might be wise to consider removing this plugin.


Don't install this bad agent plugin!


A great feature will be to add also a reCaptcha integration 😁👍


work so good

Must have plugin


I had issues with plugin and contacted support on Wordpress forum.



James Osborne helped me solved the problem. He is amazing.


Support is superb


Let's be honest here: we all use some form of tracking on our websites to gather statistics, and it's more likely than not that we use Google services for that. For times immemorial, we have had all sorts of "SEO" plugins which would connect to the Google backend and extract statistics from there, format them according to some preferences, and present it to the website admins. Many, if not all, would also be paid products, in one way or another, some cheap, some terribly expensive.



But Google Analytics has always been around, and it does a pretty decent job overall: after all, it's the same set of data that Google uses to rank and validate your website. Talk about expert data! This comes straight from the source, so to speak: your website sends tracking data to Google, and you get the statistics they've collected. Simple.



All you need to get these statistics properly formatted inside the WordPress admin panel is this absolutely-free-forever plugin from Google themselves. The Site Kit seamlessly connects your website and its existing tracking mechanism (whatever it might be; you can also create new ones if you wish, or migrate the old methods using cookies to a more modern methodology), and just uses Google technology end-to-end. No need for "intermediary plugins" of any sort; forget "statisti data collection" plugins that offer "a personalised view of your website and how you can improve it to achieve better SEO". You don't need any of those — because Google already does a very decent job of collecting and number-crunching any statistic that a website owner might need, and present it with nice graphics.



Unless you have a very specific requirement — one that doesn't rely upon just the constant trickling feed of information back to Google — you're far better served with the Google "native" Site Kit... and since its free anyway... give it a try! (you can always remove it later, or combine it wither similar tools for furher information).


So many tools integrated in your website... for free!


Love this plugin! Super handy to see all my Google stats in one place. The support team is incredibly responsive and helpful.



I recently ran into a small issue after an update, and the Site Kit team responded almost immediately. They acknowledged the problem, kept me updated, and rolled out a fix within a few hours. You don’t often see that kind of fast and transparent support. Huge kudos to the team!



Highly recommend this plugin to anyone running a WordPress site.



Big thanks! 😊


Great plugin and amazing support


There are so many plugins to see site traffic, but Google's Site kit is the best first choice for your blog. You can check your blog activity in your WP Dashboard. Humanity needs about 500 more years to be able to use two types of dashboards.


Good First Choice


It's adding 1.8 seconds of load time with its scripts alone, and that's above what just manually adding analytics does. 



It's funny that a plugin by Google triggers a fairly big warning in Lighthouse about it being too large.


Fine, but it enqueues jQuery and adds significant load time to the page


I like how Site Kit connects Analytics, Search Console, and AdSense so I can see everything without switching tabs. The dashboard is straightforward and beginner friendly. More display options for the data would make it even better.

<p>Google Pagespeed Insights is a tool that empowers you to make decisions that increase the performance of your website. Recommendations from Google Pagespeed are based upon current industry best practices for desktop and mobile web performance.</p>
<p>Through the addition of advanced data visualization, tagging, filtering, and snapshot technology, Insights from Google PageSpeed provides a comprehensive solution for any webmaster looking to increase their site performance, their search engine ranking, and their visitors browsing experience.</p>
<h4>Detailed Page Reporting</h4>
<p>Sort your page reports by their Page Speed Score to prioritize the largest areas of opportunity on your site. Page reports utilize easy to read visualizations that allow you to quickly focus in on the most important data to improve your sites performance.</p>
<h4>Report Summaries</h4>
<p>Report Summaries are a powerful and exclusive feature of Insights from Google PageSpeed. Summaries display your average Page Score, largest areas for improvement across ALL reports, as well as best and lowest performing pages. Report summaries can be filtered to narrow results by: Pages, Posts, Categories, Custom URLs, and Custom Post Types.</p>
<p>Using Report Summaries allows you to ‘zoom out’ from the page-level and better understand the big picture of your sites performance.</p>
<h4>Desktop and Mobile Page Reports</h4>
<p>Best practices for site performance differ greatly between Desktop and Mobile device usage. Configure Insights from Google PageSpeed to generate Desktop reports, Mobile reports, or both!</p>
<p>Toggle back and forth between report types to see specific suggestions for improving the performance and experience on each platform.</p>
<h4>Report Snapshots</h4>
<p>The Report Snapshot tool builds on the power of Report Summaries, to provide historical “Point In Time” data about your website.</p>
<p>Take a snapshot of any Report Summary screen to store that data for future retrieval. Add comments to your snapshots to provide additional meaning, such as “Before Installing W3 Total Cache.” Additionally, filter a Report Summary before taking a Snapshot to save a summary of the filtered data.</p>
<h4>Snapshot Comparison Tool</h4>
<p>The Snapshot Comparison Tool is an amazing utility that lets you visualize side-by-side results from any two similar Report Snapshots.</p>
<p>Take a Report Snapshot before installing new plugins, or before implementing performance recommendations. Take another snapshot when you are finished and compare your results to measure the effect of your changes.</p>
<h4>Add/Import Custom URLs</h4>
<p>Easily add additional URLs for inclusion in Pagespeed Reports. Even add URLs for non-WordPress sites, even if they are not hosted on your server. URLs can be added manually, or upload a properly formatted XML sitemap to add multiple pages at once.</p>
<p>Custom URLs can be tagged and filtered in Report Summaries. Take Report Snapshots of your Custom URLs just like you would with any other report type.</p>
<h4>Scheduled Report Checks</h4>
<p>Configure Insights from Google PageSpeed to automatically recheck your site on a Daily, Weekly, Bi-Monthly, or Monthly basis.</p>
<p>With each scan, any new pages or posts will be discovered, and existing reports will be updated to reflect any changes to your site, as well as any changes in the Pagespeed recommendations.</p>

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<p><strong>Please find the below list of potential issues that you may encounter, and the recommended next steps.</strong></p>
<h4>I entered my API Key and saved the Options, but no Reports are showing up in the Report List.</h4>
<ul>
<li>Google Pagespeed needs to be able to load each page to create its report. Make sure that your pages are publicly accessible over the internet.</li>
<li>Ensure that your API key is entered correctly, and that you have enabled the “PageSpeed Insights API” from the Google API Console.</li>
<li>In the Options page, under “Advanced Configuration” there is a checkbox called “Log API Exceptions”. Any API exception that is not caught and handled automatically will be stored for up to 7 days. This log information can be very helpful when diagnosing issues.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Page report checks never finish all of the way, I have to press “Start Reporting” again and again to get it to finish checking all of my pages.</h4>
<ul>
<li>If the reports seem to always run for a certain length of time before stopping unexpectedly, you may be exceeding your servers Max Execution time. Try increasing the value in Options->Advanced Configuration “Maximum Execution Time”.</li>
<li>Some web hosting providers do not allow the Maximum Execution Time to be overridden or increased. In that case you can try setting the Maximum Script Run Time. This will make the script run for the set period of time, then stop and spawn a new script, to get around timeout issues. Start with a low value, and test. Increase the value one step at a time until you find the largest value that allows your scans to finish successfully.</li>
</ul>
<h4>An error was reported while trying to check one of my pages, and it has been added to the Ignored Pages section.</h4>
<ul>
<li>Navigate to the Ignored Pages tab, find the page, and click “reactivate” to try it again.</li>
<li>If the page fails again, ensure that the page is publicly accessible from the internet. Non-public pages cannot be checked.</li>
<li>In some rare cases, pages are not able to be scanned by the Pagespeed API. Try checking your page manually here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/. If the page fails to be checked, report the issue to Google so that they can diagnose further.</li>
</ul>
<h4>I received a Javascript or PHP error.</h4>
<ul>
<li>If the error appeared while Google Pagespeed was checking pages, you may have loaded the page while it was storing data. Refresh the page in a couple seconds to see if the issue has gone away.</li>
<li>If issues persist please report the problem with as much information as you can gather, including: What page you were on, the exact text of the error, or a screenshot of the error.</li>
<li>In the Options page, under “Advanced Configuration” there is a checkbox called “Log API Exceptions”. Any API exception that is not caught and handled automatically will be logged for up to 7 days. This log information can be very helpful when diagnosing issues</li>
</ul>
<h4>My Page Scores seem really low. When I click “Recheck Results” when viewing Report Details, the score jumps up dramatically.</h4>
<ul>
<li>Your server may have been responding slowly when the first report was generated. A slow server response time can have a large impact on your Page Speed Score. If these problems happen frequently you may want to talk with your hosting provider about the problem, or look into alternative hosting providers.</li>
</ul>
<h4>I want to clear out all of the current page reports and start over.</h4>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to the “Options” tab</li>
<li>Expand the “Advanced Configuration” section.</li>
<li>Find the “Delete Data” Dropdown</li>
<li>Select “Delete Reports Only” to remove all Page Reports</li>
<li>Or Select “Delete EVERYTHING” to remove all Page Reports, Custom URLs, Snapshots, and Ignored Pages</li>
</ol>


Insights from Google PageSpeed

Amazing plugin. Had some initial issues getting it activated. Reached out to Matt who suggested that because it was installed by a bulk installer (MainWp management control panel) that the database tables may not have been correctly created. He suggested deactivating and activating the plugin again which worked perfectly. I've since upgraded to the Premium version and look forward to seeing what V2 brings.  Thanks Matt! 

Fantastic Plugin

Proper support of this plug-in! Great features as well :)
