Meow Analytics (Google Analytics)

Adds the Google Analytics tracker to your website and shows a clean, lightweight dashboard with real-time and historical data. It’s simple, fast, and… it just works! 🥰 Feedback is welcome — I improve it based on what you need.

Tired of bloated GA plugins packed with features you’ll never use and code that feels like it came from the Stone Age? You’re not alone. 💫

Unlike others, Meow Analytics doesn’t route your data through shady third-party services. You connect directly to Google Analytics — your data stays yours. (Check your Google Permissions — you might be surprised!)

🚀 Want more? Our new plugin SEO Engine includes everything from Meow Analytics, plus powerful SEO tools to keep your WordPress site healthy — without the bloat of Bloark SEO, Glutamate SEO, or None-In-One SEO.
