Is this an official plugin?
-
No.
The team at Fathom Analytics have been supportive of the production of this plugin, but it is not an official Fathom Analytics plugin.
-
Why did you build this plugin?
-
In January 2022 Google Analytics was deemed illegal in the EU as data would be sent to Google server’s in the US. this started our search for a more privacy focussed platform – we found Fathom Analytics.
In March 2022 Google announced sunset July 1, 2023 and data deletion (+6 months) of Google Analytics Universal, with no data being kept essentially forcing users on to Google Analytics v4. This only complicates matters for the billions of sites using Google Analytics, and does not deal with the privacy requirements of EU users.
Looking for an analytics tool to replace Google Analytics, we found Fathom and loved it for it’s simplicity and GDPR compliance. The one blocker however, was adding events was a code reliant task, something we badly wanted to be easier. The official plugin makes it easy to place the tracking code on the page, it does not add the ability to create events/conversions easily.
So to make this easier for ourselves, marketers, website owners and non-coders – we built this plugin to have the ability to easily track these user events with only a few clicks. Fathom Analytics Conversions is the no code answer for WordPress and Fathom Analytics users.
