FAQ
For all frequently asked questions, and their answers, check the MonsterInsights Docs.
-
Why use Google Analytics vs WordPress stats?
-
Native WordPress stats plugins will always slow down your website because they rely on your WordPress hosting server. Most of them do not provide accurate WordPress analytics either.
Some WordPress stats plugins use third-party servers to mitigate this issue, but they all lack powerful features that Google Analytics can offer.
Google Analytics is the #1 analytics solution in the world. It comes with all the powerful features that you can ever ask for. MonsterInsights makes it easy for you to use all advanced Google Analytics features in WordPress.
-
Why choose Google Analytics by MonsterInsights vs Google Site Kit?
-
The MonsterInsights Google Analytics plugin is built for all types of websites, large or small, to get up and running quickly with Google Analytics.
Beyond simply providing a Google Analytics dashboard, our plugin makes configuring advanced features as easy as point-and-click that would otherwise still require a developer to implement.
Our Google Analytics plugin also includes many features such as AdSense tracking, Google Optimize support, form conversion reporting, goal tracking, Search Console integration, Pagespeed insights, advanced eCommerce tracking, and more.
There’s a reason over 3 million users have trusted MonsterInsights to provide Google Analytics data to their website.
-
Can I use MonsterInsights together with another Google Analytics plugin?
-
No. You should only use one Google Analytics plugin on your WordPress site. If you use multiple Google Analytics plugins, then you will compromise your data integrity.

-
Why does MonsterInsights load Google Analytics in WordPress header section?

MonsterInsights loads code in WordPress header because it makes sure that you have the most accurate tracking.
-
Does MonsterInsights work with ad blockers?
-
As of version 7.18, Pro users of MontersInsights can use a locally hosted version of Google Analytics (gtag) which helps with tracking data accuracy. This version can also improve the performance of your website, compared to hosting the script on Google Analytics servers.
-
Can I hide Google Analytics from tracking Administrators and Editors?
-
Yes. By default we do not send data to Google Analytics for logged-in WordPress administrators and editors. You can add easily block additional user roles.
-
