Save your changes == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why did you build this plugin? = The plugins I have used in the past to solve this problem have too many features for my liking. This plugin is comprised two functions. One for registering a settings field on the Options General page. And another for printing the tracking code to the frontend. I want a lightweight solution for the websites that I build without all of the extra bells and whistles. If you are expecting this plugin to do more or grow in the future, please do not use it. = Where is the tracking code inserted? = The tracking code is inserted into the `` section. = Will this plugin slow down my website? = No. This plugin is intentionally lightweight. All it does is register a settings field, saves to the database, and then inserts the tracking code. Nothing more. = I found a bug.
