1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in the WordPress admin area.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Can This Be Used With The Legacy Google Analytics Code? =
No, this plugin is for Google Universal Analytics. You can upgrade any old non-Universal property to support both legacy and Universal under your [Google Analytics Property Settings](https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?#management/Settings/).
= Can You Add [insert feature here]? =
If it's possible and it makes sense, then yes. The best way to put in a request would be to create a thread in the [support forum over here](https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/better-analytics.31/#utm_source=readme&utm_medium=wordpress&utm_campaign=plugin).
= I speak a language that isn't supported by this plugin, can I help translate it? =
Yes. Unfortunately we don't speak every language in the world, so if you would like to contribute a translation, please contact us in the [support forum over here](https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/better-analytics.31/#utm_source=readme&utm_medium=wordpress&utm_campaign=plugin). If you are new to translating WordPress plugins, you might want to check out the free [Poedit](http://poedit.net/) program.
== CDN ==
The JavaScript used by this plugin should be able to be cached properly by content delivery networks (it has been tested with CloudFlare). This means if your site uses CloudFlare, the JavaScript code will be cached in their data centers and delivered to end users via the closest data center.
