    Hi,

    I will like to know about the specific plug in to be used where I can put my Google Analytics code to see how the site is performing. Otherwise, if I can put the code in some where in my Theme Editor, actually which .php file to use for this purpose? I mean which .php file should I use to put the Analytics code?

    Thanks.

    Put the code before the </body> in your footer.php. You can also use a plugin like this if you don't want to edit your files directly.

    if the footer.php encrypted, you can place the code after <body> in header.php.

    Thanks to both of you for your valuable suggestions. I used the plugin to track my website visitors.

    it is kinda like a bad idea to put it in header...it will slow down the loading time

    Thanks for your advice. I put the code in the footer though.
