Never worked properly for me!

ஆடி 11, 2020
I uninstalled it, it never worked properly for me ( always missing some tiles, as well as needed to re-authenticate like everytime), Did not find it useful, and I still prefer to go see my indivudual dashboard on GMT, Search Console, Analytics and AdSense. I don't really understand the purpose of the plugin, as it does not make life simpler

Add 12ms delay for a simple GA tag (WP takes 40ms)

ஆடி 9, 2020
I just used MU plugin to disable all plugins and enable site kit only. Without any plugins, the whole wp site takes 40 ms (measured by Nginx's $request_time of php processing). After I add site kit, the number increased to 52ms (a 12ms increase, 1/4 of the WordPress loading). With all other plugins used, it can be easily increased to 200 ms with network round trip which can be very slow interpreted by users. The site kit team clearly does not take performance into account, while performance is a must-have for all websites and Google itself penalize slow websites.

Problème suite à mise à jour

ஆடி 8, 2020
Site Kit affiche une page blanche après mise à jour.... J'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas la première fois que ce plugin montre ce genre de comportement... Dommage...

Missing many key features

ஆடி 7, 2020
Missing many key features. Cannot set User ID tracking. Cannot include custom tags. Cannot exclude from particular pages. No ability to use any of Googles custom analytics functionality hooks.

Bug in the plugin

ஆடி 4, 2020
It works, BUT If you need to set up Google Tag Manager, you HAVE TO install Google analytics first. If you have Google analytics also set up in GTM, there is a double implementation of the measure code and the Google Tag Assistant extension tells you: Same web property ID is tracked twice. If I have delete the Google analytics Tage, there is another error message there: No Google Analytics HTTP responses because opted out code detected. Please update the application, and it will be fine!
