- It is very easy to setup Google Analytics in WordPress with Premium Plan once you realise the steps and below steps show you the fastest way to set it up.
- Therefore, you are recommended to upgrade your WordPress to Premium Plan, which cost about USD$11/month.
- Create and setup your Google Analytics account. It is free with basics features.
- Now, you do not need the tracking ID and code if you are familiar with Google Analytics with a next generation of Google Analytics called Google Analytics 4.
