📦 plugin-google-analytics

The default Google Analytics plugin. It is a JavaScript library for measuring how users interact with your website in the production build. If you are using Google Analytics 4 you might need to consider using plugin-google-gtag instead.

Deprecated

This plugin is deprecated and became useless on July 1, 2023.

Google is moving away from Universal Analytics.

If you are still using this plugin with a UA-* tracking id, you should create a Google Analytics 4 account as soon as possible, and use @docusaurus/plugin-google-gtag instead of this plugin. More details here.
