Each plugin can track events differently. They can cause conflicts and slow-down on the front-end With a dedicated GTM plugin, all data is sent in standardized Google format to Google Tag Manager which forwards events to multiple destination services. Reporting consistency A common problem when trying to use other GTM and Google Analytics plugins is that data can be sent twice corrupting analytics reporting. Using DataLayer is a standard way to ensure your tracking information stays consistent across all connected tools. Google Consent Mode v2 Using GTM and dataLayer allows to build more complex scenarios, such as only processing the data after obtaining user consent. Other plugin directly pipe events into target system no matter if required permission was given or not.

This simple plugin adds Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to your WordPress site using your Measurement ID. Additional features include the ability to change the tracking code position, disabling display features, anonymize IP, and excluding roles from tracking. Note: Universal Analytics (UA-) was discontinued by Google on July 1, 2023. This plugin still supports UA tracking IDs for backwards compatibility, but we recommend migrating to Google Analytics 4 (G-XXXXXXXX) for active tracking.
