You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Adding Google Analytics shows where visitors come from, what they read, and what converts — here’s the safe way to set it up.
Set up a Google Analytics 4 property for your site and copy its measurement ID. This is what links your website’s data to your Analytics dashboard.
The easiest, safest method is an analytics plugin that adds your tracking code correctly and survives theme updates. Alternatively, place the code in your theme header — but a plugin avoids losing it on update.
Use Analytics’ realtime view to confirm visits are recording, ideally from another device. Once data flows, focus on the reports that matter: top pages, traffic sources and conversions.
Connect GA4 via a plugin so tracking survives updates, confirm it records in realtime, then watch your key reports.
