Today, we're announcing that Site Kit is available for everyone to
install from the WordPress plugin directory.
Site Kit is Google's official WordPress plugin—it gives you insights on how people find and
use your site, how to improve and monetize your content, with data from multiple Google tools.
Learn more about Site Kit on the
official Site Kit website.
Who is Site Kit for?
Site Kit makes it easy for WordPress site owners to understand how their site is
doing and what to do next. As a WordPress site owner, Site Kit offers you:
Easy to verify site ownership through Search Console—no need to paste a code snippet on your
site to prove you're an owner.
Convenient and easy access to relevant stats directly in your WordPress dashboard. We save you
time—see the key information right when you sign in.
Cross-product insights—Google Search Console, Google Analytics, PageSpeed Insights, AdSense —
are combined into a single, intuitive dashboard. We help you make informed decisions, quickly.
No source code editing. This is the easiest way to install and manage Google products on your
site in just a few clicks.
If you are a developer or an agency working on WordPress sites for clients, Site
Kit can make your life easier:
You'll get aggregated insights from Google products, distilled in a dashboard that your clients
or other teams can easily access. No need to copy data from multiple products to compile reports
for clients.
The site performance stats and improvement recommendations come directly from Google—your
customers will be getting the latest best practices recommended by Google products.
Site Kit provides roles and permissions to help you manage access to the site's data and make
sure only the relevant people can see stats from Google products.
If you work on a plugin or hosting provider, Site Kit provides a scalable, easy
way for your users to provision and access key Google tools and metrics.
Easy connection to official Google tools. Your customers don't have to edit the source code to
set up Google tools.
Added value for your platform. Your customers get important information about how their site is
performing right in your own dashboard.
Flexible UI. You can pull stats from the plugin dashboard and display stats natively in your
platform's UI.
Site Kit's main dashboard helps you see the most important info about how your site is doing at a
glance: how people are finding your site (traffic sources), your most popular pages, and what
people search for to find your site. For more, check out the
Find your way around Site Kit
guide in our docs.
Review the main dashboard on a weekly basis and check for any significant changes in how people
are finding your site. Are people finding your site from a new place?
Keep track of how your recent posts are doing by checking the individual page reports.
Compare the top performing pages and how people found them. Is a particular topic or product
attracting more visitors from social channels?
Set up new Google services to get more interesting insights—for example, if you enable
PageSpeed Insights and Analytics, you'll be able to see whether page load time affects bounce
rate.
