<p>Headless GA4 adds a compact Google Analytics 4 widget to the main WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p>It is designed for sites where:</p>
<ul>
<li>the frontend is not rendered by WordPress</li>
<li>GA4 tracking already happens on the frontend</li>
<li>WordPress only needs to read and display GA4 reporting data for admins</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin uses the Google Analytics Data API and a Google service account. It does not inject frontend tracking code.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>settings page for GA4 configuration</li>
<li>dashboard widget with core traffic metrics</li>
<li>last 7 days trend chart</li>
<li>top pages and top traffic sources</li>
<li>transient caching</li>
<li>manual refresh action</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Headless GA4 does not track visitors or inject analytics scripts.</p>
<p>The plugin only sends server-side requests to Google when an administrator configures a GA4 property and opens the dashboard or tests the connection. Those requests use the service account credentials you provide in the plugin settings.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to Google services to authenticate requests and fetch Google Analytics 4 report data. These requests are only made after an administrator configures the plugin and then opens the dashboard widget, refreshes the data, or uses the Test connection button.</p>
<h4>Google OAuth token service (`oauth2.googleapis.com`)</h4>
<p>Used to exchange the configured Google service account credentials for a short-lived access token.</p>
<p>Data sent: a signed JWT assertion containing the service account email, requested scope, token endpoint, issued-at time, and expiration time.</p>
<p>Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/terms<br />
Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</p>
<h4>Google Analytics Data API (`analyticsdata.googleapis.com`)</h4>
<p>Used to request GA4 report data for the configured GA4 property.</p>
<p>Data sent: the GA4 property ID, report request parameters such as date ranges, dimensions, metrics, and limits, plus the OAuth access token in the request headers.</p>
<p>Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/terms<br />
