What it does
Standard analytics reports tell you how many people visited and which pages they saw, but they rarely answer questions specific to your site. Which writers bring in the most readers? Do registered users behave differently from anonymous visitors? This addon fills that gap by letting you track custom dimensions inside MonsterInsights and Google Analytics. You can record details like authors, categories, tags and logged-in status alongside your regular traffic data, giving you a more detailed view of how people use your site.
Setup is meant to be approachable. The addon works with MonsterInsights and Google Analytics without coding, so you choose the dimensions you want and start collecting data. Reports appear in your WordPress dashboard, where you can review trends without switching tools. It fits well on blogs with several contributors, content sites organized by categories and tags, and any site with registered users where you want to compare their activity with that of regular visitors.
Best for
- Multi-author blogs comparing writer performance
- Sites with registered users tracking logged-in behavior
- Content sites organized by categories and tags
