This is a very simple WordPress plugin that adds the code needed for Google Analytics to your page. You just need to install the plugin, activate it, and enter your Tracking ID.
Technical Details (in case you are curious, the plugin takes care of this for you)
If your Google Analytics Tracking ID is UA-XXXXXXXX-1, this code needs to be added to your page headers for tracking to occur:


 window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; 
 function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} 
 gtag(‘js’, new Date());
 gtag(‘config’, ‘UA-XXXXXXXX-1’);
The plugin adds a field to the General Settings page for you to enter your Tracking ID. Activate the plugin, enter your Tracking ID – that’s all you have to do. The code above (with your Tracking ID) will automatically be inserted into the header of each page your readers view.

ExactMetrics – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (Website Stats Plugin)

I use the Pro version for more than two years now without any problem, with support voor G4. Last week I had a problem and the support from Exact Metrix replied within a couple of hours. After some conversation it seems the problem was with Google not with EM. I would recommend EM, it does a very good job, so 5 stars from me ....
