Overview

This plugin helps to plug in Google Analytics code to the website pages without affecting the theme code. All you have to do is to enter the tracking code. That’s all. Unlike other plugins, this one cares about your website performance and caches Google Analytics scripts.

How does plugin cache Google Analytics scripts and why?

When you activate and fill in plugin settings, it downloads remote file named analytics.js and places it to the Cache folder on your hosting (server). This file is updated once a day – it helps to avoid external requests to the Google remote server and speeds up the website pages.
Also if you want to gain 100 performance rating on Google Pagespeed Insights, then you’ll definitely need to cache Google Analytics, otherwise you’ll get a warning.

A long time waiting for a new update
by alexangel45·7 years ago

New update very pleased me, I’ve been using this plugin for a long time, but I had some problems with the new version of PHP.
Plugin has changed quite a great, but everyone is afraid of something new, I hope that the plugin will develop further.
