Tracking Code For Google Analytics is a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for inserting your Google Analytics Universal Analytics tracking code. The plugin does one thing and one thing only; prints the standard Google Analytics tacking script to the <code><head></code> of your website. To insert your tracking ID, navigate to Settings > General and then scroll to the bottom of the page.

 $tracking_id = 'UA-7654321';
 return $tracking_id;
 }
);
