WP-Optimize release v3.5.0: Google Analytics support and more
WP-Optimize version 3.5.0 is here! This update introduces a brand new premium feature: Google Analytics support. It allows you to manage your analytics setup directly within the plugin. We’ve also made several tweaks and fixes, including compatibility with the Local Google Fonts plugin. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in this version.
Google Analytics support (exclusive to premium users)
Section titled Google Analytics support (exclusive to premium users)We’ve added a new feature for our premium users: Google Analytics support. With this new feature, you can manage your Google Analytics tracking directly from the Minify section within WP-Optimize. Here’s what this means for you:
- Simply enter your Google Analytics tracking ID, and the script will be used across all pages, making your analytics setup easier.
- You won’t need to rely on extra plugins to manage your Google Analytics.
We’re hosting the Google Analytics script on your own server, so you won’t have to depend on an external link from Google. This helps improve site performance and gives you more control over your scripts. - If you’re looking to reduce resource usage, we’ve included support for the Minimal Analytics script. This lightweight alternative (1.4KB compared to 91KB) offers basic analytics functionality with a much smaller file size.
Compatibility improvements and other tweaks (available to all users)
Section titled Compatibility improvements and other tweaks (available to all users)In response to user feedback, we’ve added support for the Local Google Fonts plugin. This update makes sure that our minify functionality works smoothly alongside this plugin, fixing a conflict that was raised in a recent support thread. A big thank you to our community for bringing this to our attention!
