What's going wrong
Several owners report the plugin noticeably slowed their site after installation. One saw the largest contentful paint jump from about 4.7 to 6.7 seconds, while another reported that both the storefront and the WordPress admin area became heavy. A third reported very high JavaScript execution time tied to the analytics code. Owners say the slowdown went away once the plugin was removed, which makes it hard to keep while protecting search rankings and checkout speed. The pattern suggests analytics scripts load on every page without enough care. Store owners need a way to measure the cost of each tracking script and keep it lean.
