<p>This simple plugin adds Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to your WordPress site using your Measurement ID. Additional features include the ability to change the tracking code position, disabling display features, anonymize IP, and excluding roles from tracking.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Universal Analytics (UA-) was discontinued by Google on July 1, 2023. This plugin still supports UA tracking IDs for backwards compatibility, but we recommend migrating to Google Analytics 4 (G-XXXXXXXX) for active tracking.</p>
