<h3>Using Google Analytics GA4? Use our new plugin – Goal Tracker for Google Analytics GA4</h3>
<p>⚠️ WP Google Analytics Events is not compatible with Google Analytics GA4.<br />
Instead, You can use our new plugin for GA4 – <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/goal-tracker-ga/" rel="ugc">Download Goal Tracker for Google Analytics GA4</a></p>
<p>With WP Google Analytics Events, you don’t have to write code to use Events in Google Analytics.</p>
<p>The plugin allows you to fire events whenever someone interacts or views elements on your website.<br />
You can create a Google Analytics event when a visitor scrolls down and views your pricing table. Track video, banners, Call to Action buttons, email links, and more.</p>
<p>If you really want to know what people are doing on your website, the default options are limited when it comes to in-page tracking in Google Analytics.<br />
Page tracking is not enough these days, and if you want to match measurable metrics for your KPIs, its necessary to use events.</p>
<p>Tracking events is usually done by writing JavaScript code, and that is not the WordPress way.<br />
That’s why we created WP Google Analytics Events, so you don’t have to write elaborate code every time you want to learn something new about your visitors.</p>

WP Google Analytics Events – No-Code Custom Event Tracking for Google Analytics

I've been using this plugin across many sites, and it works excellent to help track Contact Form 7 submissions (since CF7's support is very much lacking). It's very easy to use and super simple... Most of all, it just works!

Makes Click Tracking a Breeze

Works a charm

Plugin got auto-updated yesterday. The latest edition broke our website. We missed events for around 10k visitors.

Should be properly tested before release.

Also, how the heck, it updated automatically?

Broke our Very Important Site

Track Google Analytics Events on your website - Enables you to send an event when a user Scrolls or Click an element on your website.
