GoogleAnalytics-SpeedBoost

Improve your Lighthouse / PageSpeed / GTmetrix scores by not loading Google Analytics until the visitor consents. The plugin shows a small consent popup and only injects the GA tag after the visitor clicks Accept — and lets them withdraw consent later.

Features

• GA loads only after consent (better performance and privacy).
• Configurable popup text and Accept/Reject button labels.
• No jQuery — a few KB of vanilla JS.
• Withdraw consent anywhere with the [ga_consent_reset] shortcode.
• The popup only appears once a GA Measurement ID is configured.

Setup

1. Activate the plugin.
2. Go to GDPR Popup in the admin menu and enter your GA Measurement ID (e.g. G-XXXXXXXXXX).
3. Optionally customise the popup text and buttons.

What changed in 2.0.0

• Removed the jQuery dependency. 1.0 enqueued jQuery even though the script was pure vanilla JS — counter-productive for a speed plugin.
• Hardened consent handling. Cookies are parsed exactly (no substring false matches) and written with SameSite=Lax. The GA ID is validated on save.
• Added consent withdrawal via [ga_consent_reset] (a GDPR requirement that 1.0 lacked).
• The popup and scripts now load only when a GA ID is set, plus basic dialog accessibility and nicer default styling.
