Title: Failure Last modified: December 1, 2022 --- # Failure * [Takis_Athens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takis_athens/) * (@takis_athens) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failure-12/) * Although I admire the services of Google and how smoothly they work, the whole Google Analytics > WP situation is an utter failure and the mothership needs to consider seriously about something new, and better. I have used this plugin in the past, sometimes worked, and some did not. On this last site I did, the plugin was straight-up refusing to connect with my Analytics account. Connection error. I tried the second suggested plugin by Google, MonsterInsight, which really slowed down my admin panel, on a site hosted on Virtuozzo cloud/environment, with CDN, Redis, and all the (speed) goodies. I had crazy WP panel speeds before I make the mistake to try Google’s suggestions. All this, because I was too lazy to add the analytics script on the area through PHP. In any case, back to “Site Kit”, MonsterInsight connected instantly, so it wasn’t some server-side problem on my end. Although I deleted it and I rolled over to a backup to clean my site of all this (unnecessary to me) code. Seems like a Site Kit problem. I am not willing to troubleshoot it, I just wanted to say my piece. * The moral of the story, learn to edit the WP code yourself and add the (small) analytics script. It’s very easy to learn, and you will save yourself a lot of headaches. If you just wanna track visits and nothing more, don’t go down this rabbit hole.
