Good, But Room for Improvement

Site Kit by Google is a solid plugin for integrating Google tools into WordPress. Setting it up is easy, and the data insights are helpful. However, it could use some more advanced features.

Good Stats Tool

Pretty useful plugin. Setup was easy n dashboard gives clear stats from GA n Search Console. Helped me track site perf quickly. UI is clean but sometimes feels a bit slow. Overall works well 👍
