Having Analytics in WordPress Dashboard saves time. An alternative plugin is Google Analytics by MonsterInsights or Local Google Analytics for WordPress – caches external requests.
Website Optimization and Maintenance
There are a few ways to optimize and speed up your website for viewers and search engines: database clean up, image optimization, page / script compression, CPU / server load optimization, server file caching and utilize browser caching.
I provide website tune ups on request and recommend a schedule for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Page Speed optimization.
Optimization is best applied together with website security and protection and backup and maintenance.
