subscribe and hit the notification bell

if you are interested in any or all of

these thank you okay I've just gone

through deleting a bunch of plugins that

were pre-installed when I set up

WordPress in this host which is a site

SiteGround in many hosts the three host

services that I belong to which is

Bluehost this one SiteGround

and one N one dot-com they all pre

install a bunch of plugins because I

guess they they believe that these

plugins are very useful and also a lot

of the plugins they they pre install by

default are you know free trial versions

of plugins that you can upgrade for more

advanced professional features and one

of them is monster insights

monster insights for Google Analytics

that's your ability to see statistics

based on the traffic you have on your

website and it's being tracked by your

Google Analytics code and here this

plug-in manages that ID that Google

Analytics ID and can give you your

statistics what I don't like about

monster insights although I like how

they're there they're what do you call

it their look their graphics to go to if

you go to insights

they give you nice graphical

representation of your statistics they

even have a pie chart here countries but

what I don't like is a lot of their

features need you to be upgraded to the

monster insights Pro and where did I see

that earlier back in the home and these

insights

whenever I clicked on some other

features I believe yeah like that one

unlock the publishers report and focus

on content that matters

you need to have pro version upgrade I

don't know how much it cost but I don't

want to pay for any of this this one

needs an upgrade also a device breakdown

you need pro so you know what for me

that's kind of bloatware and I don't

need that I don't want to pay for that

because there's an alternate that's free

so what I'm going to do is in my new

install of WordPress in SiteGround

for my domain name sees the email com

I'm going to remove monster insights

first I'll deactivate it

hmm it expired there once just get rid

of it then okay now it's deactivated now

I can delete it I guess

okay boom gone so what I want to the

plugin I want to to manage my Google

Analytics ID in WordPress because you

can always go back to your Google

Analytics account to see all the stats

there but for convenience you'd want a

plug-in right in your WordPress so the

one I'm using is like what I'm using on

another small website I have and it's

called I think Google Analytics

dashboard for WP WordPress so just

search this plug-in copy Gadd

whoop-whoop let's go search for that Oh

about searching in my current directory

I have to search the plug-in over here

add new search plugins this is it and

this is one of the most popular free

plug-ins for analytics and they do a

good job and I think they do an

efficient job they don't give you all

that bloatware for upgrades it's totally

free let's install it now

and activated okay so it's running so

I'll have to input my my analytics code

let's let's do that right now let's go

find my Analytics code for sees the

email calm there you are

there's the code okay this is my

tracking ID copy that

and let's go into settings of god what

you need to create a free Alex I kind of

already have that developer mode

authorized plug-in use this link to get

your one-time use access code mm-hmm get

access code okay I'll have to do some

logins now and which when Google

Analytics dashboard for the litchi you

wants access to your Google account okay

this will allow Google Analytics

dashboard for WordPress

to view your Google Analytics data make

sure you trust yeah I trust them please

copy this code switch to your

application and paste it there

boom save access code okay so I did not

have to copy the tracking ID I had to

copy that access code which grabbed the

necessary information from my Google

Analytics account and yeah it and

inputted the proper code right there and

also the proper URL and that's probably

the two main ones and the time zone so

there you have it we now have Gadwal

working on a fresh install insight

ground for my domain sees the email calm

let's see if we can see yeah this is

that dashboard Google Analytics

dashboard and there's zero visitors

everything's brand-new so we'd expect

that so yeah I mean they don't have the

most fancy graphical interface compared

with the monster insights but you know

what you don't need it if you want fancy

stuff go to your Google Analytics

account see all your stats there right

and you just want a quick update status

while you're in WordPress managing your

domain your website and you can just

grab it from or glance it from your

dashboard right here right in your

WordPress dashboard so that's why I

recommend this plug-in over monster

insights because monster insights is

withholding a lot of data until until

you upgrade and I know and I don't feel

like I want to pay for that kind of

upgrade I'll save my money elsewhere

thanks
