About this Plugin
Google Analytics is complicated!
Static WordPress Challenge
Independent Analytics depends on the WordPress installation to receive and process visitor analytics. A standalone static site cannot report visits to an inactive WordPress backend. Use an external hosted analytics service such as Fathom Analytics, Pirsch Analytics, or a separately hosted Matomo installation instead.
