The Real Simple Analytics WordPress Plugin provides a way to insert your analytics tracking scripts in the header of your WordPress site without any additional plugin bloat.
This plugin is for people who only need their analytics code added to the WordPress site and do not care about having graphics, charts and reports available within WordPress.
Download the most recent version of the plugin from the plugin homepage or from this repository.
In your WordPress administration panel, go to Plugins, select Add New then Upload Plugin to upload the
zip file. After the upload is complete, click Activate.
The goal of Real Simple Analytics is to keep it easy. All you need is your analytics script (such as Google Analytics).
From the WordPress administration panel, go to Settings > Real Simple Analytics. Paste your analytics script into
the text box and click Save.
Once saved, the script will be included in the <head> when your site loads.
