Why should i abandon Google Analytics in favor of a Joomla component?

Ready to say goodbye to Google Analytics? Nowadays everybody is tired of dealing with Google Analytics and all implications it brings to your website:

  1. Google Analytics slows down performance of your website. If you care (as everyone should) the Google PageSpeed Insights score and Core Web Vitals, you should have noticed that adding Google Analytics scripts decreases the PageSpeed score especially for mobile devices: https://techpreference.com/internet-marketing-tools/websites/is-google-analytics-slowing-down-my-website
  2. Google Analytics can violate many rules of the GDPR, especially because data are transferred outside the EU area and to other countries, data can be exposed to breach and processed by third-party organizations: https://www.compliancejunction.com/google-analytics-determined-to-breach-gdpr-rules-covering-data-transfers-to-third-countries
  3. Google Analytics is not so easy and intuitive to manage, especially now that Google announced to shut down the Universal Tracking on July 2023 and force a migration to the Google Analytics 4 platform. You should be prepared for this upgrade and the fact that it will also cause all stats to restart from scratch: https://blog.google/products/marketingplatform/analytics/prepare-for-future-with-google-analytics-4

Still sure to continue using Google Analytics?

  • Accuracy
  • Missing information

  • Approximation
