Google Site Kit Out of Beta and Available for all WordPress Site Owners

Google Site Kit for WordPress which was in beta for the last 6 months is finally released and now available for all WordPress site owners.

With Site Kit, you will only need one plugin for Google Analytics, Search Console, PageSpeed Insights and AdSense code and scripts on your WordPress sites.

No need for separate and individual code and script from each of these Google products.

You will get data from Search Console, Analytics, AdSense, PageSpeed Insights, Tag Manager and Optimize, assuming you want reports from these directly in your WordPress dashboard.

Google Site Kit lets you add scripts and verification code from four different Google products, at least for now. Instead of adding Google Analytics script, Search Console verification code, AdSense tags and PageSpeed metrics tags individually in your header.php file, simply install Site Kit to include all these different products at once.

  • Seamless site verification with Search Console
