I will be trying on current design projects

By mark ball (mballew) on February 9, 2025

I will be trying this plugin on some new sites in progress of being designed. With the Wordpress open-source(?) project being dominated by a few big players who have enriched themselves and then ignored the project, it has become discouraging watching it decline in integrity in recent years, too many bad actors in plugin development and lack luster response from WP project overall, it is being runover by bad greedy people, you can see this in Woo, people are now running away from WP because they need reliable bug free eCommerce and Shopify has largely benefited from this, I cannot even recommend Woo and have to be extremely careful with which plugin projects i use as many are corrupted by little people greedily bypassing WP policies to promote something to someone who installs their plugin. I wish there were no developers like this one.

Perfect

Works perfect...

Excellent, simple to setup plugin

By Alex Buran (alexburan) on April 19, 2021

I've been looking for non-intrusive Google Tag plugin and after a few unsuccessful iterations with other, higher ranked in WP directory plugins, found this one. This plugin does exactly what it should: installs google tags on your WP website. That's it. Nothing else. The rest is managed via Google Tags directly. Thanks to the developers!

völlig veraltet und kritisch punkto Datenschutz

By wanabe0agency on February 18, 2021

sorry, aber so wird im 2021 Google Analytics sicher nicht eingerichtet. Ist schon fast frech was hier die Webkinder anbieten. Punkto Datenschutz auch höchst bedenklich...

Simple and clean!

By Brian Shim (brianrshim) on October 23, 2020
