Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Beardo Multisite Analytics for GA4 brings your Google Analytics 4 data directly into the WordPress admin — without touching your site’s tracking setup.

Unlike most GA4 plugins, this one does not add any tracking code or scripts to your site. It is a pure reporting dashboard. If you already have GA4 running via Site Kit, Google Tag Manager, a page builder integration, or manual gtag — this plugin works alongside all of it, no conflict, no duplication.

Network Admin Interface

  • Tabbed interface — Properties, Subsites, Settings, Instructions
  • Properties tab — searchable, sortable, paginated list of all GA4 properties in your Google account, with Re-sync and Export CSV
  • Subsites tab — shows every subsite with its mapped GA4 property, domain, and a direct Login link; exportable to CSV
  • Settings tab — configure cache duration (12 or 24 hours), error notification email addresses, API request logging, and uninstall behavior (preserve or purge all plugin data on removal)

Single Site

Each site administrator connects their own Google account and selects the GA4 property for their site. Analytics data is scoped to that property only.

WordPress Multisite — Network Activated

When network activated, a single Google account connection at the network level gives the super admin access to all GA4 properties associated with that account. Each subsite can be mapped to its own property. Subsite administrators see only the data for their own site.

Why Not Just Use Google Analytics Directly?

You could — but staying in WordPress admin means your team doesn’t need Google Analytics access or training. Site owners, editors, and clients get the numbers they actually need without logging into a separate platform.

No Bloat. No Tracking. No Upsell.

This is a free, open-source plugin with no premium tier, no license keys, and no persistent upgrade prompts. It does one thing — surfaces GA4 data inside WordPress — and does it cleanly.
