The default [Google Analytics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/) plugin. It is a JavaScript library for measuring how users interact with your website **in the production build**. If you are using Google Analytics 4 you might need to consider using [plugin-google-gtag](./plugin-google-gtag) instead.

## Installation {#installation}

```bash npm2yarn
npm install --save @docusaurus/plugin-google-analytics
```

If you have installed `@docusaurus/preset-classic`, you don't need to install it as a dependency.
