Site Kit is a plugin that enables you to connect your WordPress website with these six Google services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Search Console<\/a>.<\/strong> With Search Console, you can monitor your site’s traffic, its performance, and indexing status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Analytics<\/a>. <\/strong>Google’s popular web analytics<\/a> tool provides you with massive amounts of data about your site’s visitors, which is invaluable for marketing and optimization. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. AdSense<\/a>.<\/strong> If you want to monetize your website<\/a> using ads, AdSense is one of the most popular platforms you can use to insert ads<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. PageSpeed Insights<\/a>.<\/strong> This tool enables you to test your website’s performance<\/a>. It returns an overall score, as well as a broad range of suggestions on how to improve your desktop and mobile experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tag Manager<\/a>.<\/strong> This service enables you to add tracking pixels and snippets to your website without modifying code manually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Optimize<\/a>.<\/strong> With Optimize, you can run in-depth A\/B tests<\/a> for your website. It integrates with Google Analytics to give you better insights into results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It’s important to understand that Site Kit is not a replacement for any of the services we listed above. Rather, it simplifies the process of integrating them with WordPress. For example, if you haven’t already manually added Google Analytics to your site, Site Kit can help you add the tracking code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once your services are integrated, Site Kit also enables you to access key metrics from inside your WordPress dashboard. With Google Analytics<\/a>, for example, you can view your overall traffic, impressions, clicks, and goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You don’t need <\/em>a plugin to help you connect any of those services with your WordPress website, but Site Kit makes the process a lot easier. All you have to do in most cases is click some buttons to provide a few authorizations.<\/p>\n\n\n
