## Description

Adds the Google Analytics tracker to your website and shows a clean, lightweight
dashboard with real-time and historical data. It’s simple, fast, and… it just works!
🥰 Feedback is welcome — I improve it based on what you need.

Tired of bloated GA plugins packed with features you’ll never use and code that 
feels like it came from the Stone Age? You’re not alone. 💫

Unlike others, Meow Analytics doesn’t route your data through shady third-party 
services. You connect directly to Google Analytics — your data stays yours. (Check
your Google Permissions — you might be surprised!)

🚀 Want more? Our new plugin [SEO Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-engine/)
includes everything from Meow Analytics, plus powerful SEO tools to keep your WordPress
site healthy — without the bloat of Bloark SEO, Glutamate SEO, or None-In-One SEO.

### Dashboard

You can access to some of your analytics data directly in your WordPress dashboard(
realtime and historical data). If you wish to do this, [follow this tutorial](https://meowapps.com/plugin/meow-analytics/).

### Usage

Visit the Settings under Meow Apps > Analytics, enter your Google Analytics code,
and that’s it. For more, please check the official page of the plugin: [Meow Analytics](https://meowapps.com/plugin/meow-analytics/).

Languages: English.

### 󠀁[A Game-Changer for WordPress Analytics](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-game-changer-for-wordpress-analytics/)󠁿

As someone who manages multiple client websites, I was looking for a simple yet 
powerful analytics solution. Meow Analytics has exceeded my expectations. The setup
process was a breeze – no need to mess with complex code insertions. What I love
most is how it seamlessly integrates Google Analytics data right into the WordPress
dashboard. This saves me tons of time switching between platforms. The clean, intuitive
interface makes it easy to quickly gauge site performance and share insights with
clients. Highly recommended for agencies and freelancers!

 [almahmud](https://profiles.wordpress.org/almahmudbd/) August 19, 2023

Simply a good plugin; these details are usually what we need. You may add a few 
more options to the analytics dashboard (such as visited pages and 404 pages).
