How Lightweight Google Analytics works
Show full descriptionShow less
This simple plugin adds Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to your WordPress site using your Measurement ID. It prints Google’s standard gtag.js snippet, nothing more, with a few options for where it loads, who gets tracked, privacy and testing.
Features
Performance focused with no bloat and never any upsells
Only needs your GA4 Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXX)
Load the tracking code in the header or footer
Exclude logged-in users by role (admins, editors and authors are excluded by default)
Post previews and the Customizer are never tracked
Option to disable Google’s advertising features (Google signals)
Google Consent Mode v2 support for GDPR/CCPA compliance with cookie consent plugins
Debug Mode for testing in GA4 DebugView
Optional Minimal Analytics 4 mode: a 3.5 KB inline script that reports page views, scrolls, downloads, outbound clicks and site searches without loading gtag.js at all
The settings page tells you whether tracking is live and why your own visits may not show up
Works with WP Rocket’s local Google Analytics feature
Filters for developers to change the gtag config, the consent defaults or when tracking is skipped
The plugin does not include any reporting. To see your statistics, open Google Analytics.
