Simple Universal Google Analytics

I got tired of editing the header.php of my child themes or adding Google's tracking script via an enqueue_script in my functions.php, but until I found this plugin, I hadn't been able to find one that simply added the Google Analytics code to my pages without piling on a lot of features that I didn't want or need.
I was about to write my own plugin, and did a search to see if there were any I missed since I last looked that would do what I wanted. I was fortunate to find the Simple Universal Google Analytics plugin. The developer has designed exactly the plugin I was looking for, and to date, he's done an admirable job of keeping it current. He's even thrown in the functionality to not track users who are logged in at the admin and editor levels, making the tracking stats more accurately reflect actual user traffic.
The plugin does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does so while using very little in the way of resources. I ran it with the P3 Plugin Performance Profiler, and it barely registered, showing it is very efficient.
Thanks for a great plugin!

<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>
