This Plugin Will No Longer Work With Google Analytics on July 1, 2023

Google Analytics 4, is replacing Universal Analytics. On July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will stop processing new data. This means that any Universal Analytics data that you’re using in Google Ads campaigns will start to degrade and your ad performance may be impacted. We strongly recommend that you make the switch to Google Analytics 4 as soon as possible.

How to use Analytics Cat – Google Analytics?

There are multiple ways to add the Google Analytics tracking code to your WordPress site.

1. Pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme
This approach isn’t great for two reasons:
a) If you edit your live site and make a mistake when pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme, you could take down your website.
b) If your theme is updated with new features or security fixes, your Google Analytics code will be overwritten.

2. Pasting your Google Analytics script into a header/footer script plugin
This is a valid approach, but has some disadvantages. General purposes “header script plugins” aren’t built from the ground-up to support Google Analytics.

What this means is that :
a) These plugins lack Google Analytics-specific functionality.
b) These plugins will not adapt if Google Analytics changes again. Since Analytics Cat is a dedicated Google Analytics WordPress plugin, we’ll make sure make sure to stay compatible with future changes to Google Analytics.
c) These plugins usually don’t support hiding your Google Analytics code from logged-in users.

3. Using Some Other Google Analytics WordPress Plugin
There are some good Google Analytics plugins out there, but many of them are bloated, have too many settings and are slow.
