Analytics Depth
Standard Google Analytics shows page views and traffic sources but lacks content-level detail. With dimensions, you can answer questions like which author drives the most traffic, which categories convert better, and how content length affects engagement.

The addon provides a settings interface where you map WordPress content attributes to Google Analytics custom dimension slots. Once configured, dimension data flows automatically without additional coding or manual tracking.
