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.

Independent Analytics – WordPress Analytics Plugin


A lot simpler than Google Analytics to install and understand. For me, it is perfect for our needs.


Just Perfect


There are two main types of web analytics software: The big and complex ones that do more than most people use, e.g. GA4, Matomno and Piwik Pro, and the small and nimble ones that have everything you expect but nothing more, e.g. Fathom and Plausible. Independent Analytics belongs to the latter category. And it is a very good alternative for those who are looking for that sort of analytics tool. The interface is just as polished and easy to use as Fathom and Plausible, but has the advantage that it can also display WordPress-specific information.



I have installed Independent Analytics Pro on several of our clients' websites and can say that it works flawlessly. I can't see any impact on performance either.



I am super happy with Independent Analytics and highly recommend it.


A great web analytics tool that you definitely should check out!


very simple tu use. display all major stats!


great!

Works well. Thanks.


This plugin could be a great alternative to Google Analytics for free and GDPR friendly. Totally recommended for small sites where you don't need to have a huge analytics behind. I'm keen to see, how it goes.



The support was very quick and personal. We resolved all the issues in a days!



Thanks a lot and fingers crossed for the future developmentKarolína
