# Install Google Analytics code without plugin

 * I always used a WordPress plugin to add my GA to my WordPress websites. Now I
   want to add the code without the need of a plugin. I want to add two things to
   the default code:
 * – Increase the siteSpeedSampleRate to 50%
    – Anonymize IP adresses
 * So this is the code I have right now, and I like to know if I set this up correctly:
 *     ```
       <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X"></script>
       <script>
         window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
         function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
         gtag('js', new Date());
   
           gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', {'siteSpeedSampleRate': 50});
           gtag('config', '<GA_MEASUREMENT_ID>', { 'anonymize_ip': true });
   
       </script>
       ```
   
 * I don’t use the tagmanager, so maybe I can delete the line?
    `<script async src
   ="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X"></script>`
 * Thanks for your help 🙂
 * Alwin
