It’s always been a matter of fact that every developer or admin want’s complete statistics of their website to analyze the behavior and priorities of his site users. However, this may become complicated when there are numerous products available in the market with different features available. Similar is the case with Analytic companies which are increasing in number every other day and I believe that almost everyone comes across to Google Analytics somewhere in their development stage as it is being considered as one of the top tracking pixels available in the current scenario.

Features of Analytify Plugin
The key features of Analytify plugin include its simplicity to use, view, fetch and presentation of site analytics on both frontend and backend of WordPress. The data is displayed in a very simple way which is understandable to any WordPress user.
There is an Analytify Dashboard which gathers the information of all Google Analytics data in one page. It gives a clear statistical view about the number of sessions, number of users, number of page views, how many new sessions are in progress, what is the average time spent by each user on that page etc. Check out the screenshot below.
The WordPress user will get statistics per page or per blog post. This includes the data of the users from which country they have logged in, which browser they’re using, what are the most searched keywords which are leading to your WordPress page, general statistics data for individual blog’s, the total number of page-views and exits. There is a feature to identify whether the user is a new user or a returning user, this gives the administrator an idea as to how far the blogs or pages are impressive.
Analytify plugin has both universal tracker and traditional tracker available. The WordPress user has an option to choose between traditional or (universal Tracking code). These pages are also linked to social networking sites and social media stats help the admin identify how many users are coming to the site from social media networks. The browser stats list the usage of top five browsers. Reference stats provides the admin the list of strong refers to your site. Also, there is a comparison statistical graph about what happens when a user visits your site.
Analytify is compatible with multisite networks. The stats data can be viewed on many screens (Responsive) or sites from various devices. Access control is one of the key features of Analytify plugin. You can grant access to certain roles to view analytics of your site. There are many websites which collect data from various writers and publish them. The analytics data cannot be shared among all of them. The employer would like to restrict the access to these data stats. For this, the admin has to go to the analytify plugin settings and select ‘admin’ option. It will show a dialog box with a description, “show statistics to” and the user can customize it. This is a recommended tool for all the WordPress admins.
Furthermore, WP Brigade provides awesome support via their forums and is a “Certified Google Analytics Partner”

Google Analytics Was Never This Fun In WordPress before.
Following is a list of Testimonials you must read them once.
Testimonial # 1
Great way to understand your audience
I’ve been using the Pro version for quite a while. I really love how it gives me in-depth information about each individual post. That kind of info is hard to navigate to in Google Analytics even if you’re relatively familiar with it already. I discovered all kinds of new things about how people land on my site and how they engage with it just by activating the plugin and looking at the information it provides in the Dashboard and on individual posts.
The author is also an official Google analytics Partner, which I think speaks volumes. Well done all around, highly recommended!
Testimonial # 2
Best Google Analytics Plugin
This is something that clients really love as they of course want to see traffic to their site. However many do not want to log into google analytics and work their way through its rather complicated reporting modules. This gives all the headline stuff and more. What’s really neat is that it does it for every single page as well. So you can really see what’s going on for a particular post. So a google search for X led to this page. It also has great realtime reporting for the paid version. I had one small issue and the developer responded and addressed it immediately. Very impressed. It’s become a default plugin.
Testimonial # 3
Excellent Integrations with Google Analytics
Many of my clients don’t want to view analytics outside their dashboard. This plugin integrates GA beautifully within the WordPress admin panel. I suggest you give it a spin. The developers are also very nice and dedicated to the plugin, which goes a long way.
Testimonial # 4
Outstanding support and product
Besides thinking the plugin is wonderful, I am equally impressed with the support team. I had issues and they emailed back and forth to resolve my issues and even update the plugin for me. I highly recommend this plugin which has been very beneficial to my analytics, but just as important, I appreciate the support in resolving my issue in a very timely manner.
You may buy the premium version to support the development.
