Description:
This is a flexible, simple-to-use system plugin that is used to add Google Analytics 4 Code (gtag.js) to a Joomla site. It adds the Google tracking code to the head tag of each page of the website without having to edit any template code.
Note, though, that the tracking code will be added at the end of the list of script tags that Joomla generates, but since the Joomla generated tags usually come before the template scripts, there is no guarantee that the tracking code will be placed immediately after the
tag.
Main features:
- Automatiaclly places Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js) tracking code in head tag
- Specify the MEASUREMENT ID for your Web Stream in the Plugin Manager
- Option to exclude Analytics in Administration backend

Known Issues:
The tracking code may not be the last script tag before the </head> tag,
because of when the template script tags are added. This may cause a performance
issue in some browsers, as specified by Google Help.
Links with _blank targets are simulated with window.open() javascript function. This may trigger
a browser's pop-up blocker.
