Simple, just how I wanted it.
by Robin Cornett·8 years ago
I switched to Simple Google Analytics Tracking a few months ago because I wanted–well, I wanted simple tracking, without dashboards in my admin and a lot of settings. This does the job perfectly, and without tracking my own visits. Thank you!
Finally something simple

As Google continues to change the Analytics product, everyone’s documentation and interfaces become immediately obsolete. After the last hour of “open settings and click on xxxxxxxx” but xxxxxxxx isn’t there anymore, grey screens and blank screens, I found this one.
If you don’t need the hassle of API authentications and secret codes and whatever, but just want to paste in your tracking code already dammit, this is for you.
Does everything it say it does, no more, no less, perfect.

This plugin was recommended when I was looking for something super slim to get me away from the monster. This is my new go-to.
