It slows down very much the page

Hello @kingdonkeykong ,

Thanks for your feedback.

After installing it, the measure on Pagespeed from Google was decreased a lot.

Site Kit only adds a meta tag just to recognize the plugin version & it doesn’t create any impact on Page Speed. You can remove that tag programmatically by using below code snippet in theme’s functions.php.

add_filter( 'googlesitekit_generator', '__return_empty_string' );

Furthermore, if you’d like to share your site URL we can look into this issue for you.

And there′s not support for Google Analytics 4 yet.

Just wanted to share a good news, beginning with version 1.36, released on July 7, 2021, Site Kit is adding the ability for users to create and add a GA4 property directly through the Site Kit interface.

Best Regards,

Hello @kingdonkeykong ,

I hope you had a great weekend ??

Just wanted to clarify a bit more here: With each Google service that is connected through Site Kit, there are additional requests made to each service. These are the same requests whether you’ve added any Google service manually or within Site Kit.
You can also check your site’s source code with just the Search Console module active within Site Kit. You’ll notice Site Kit doesn’t add any additional performance impacting snippets to your site. The only additional code you’ll find is a meta tag.

If you’d like to perform a comparison with manually placed snippets compared to Site Kit placed snippets I’d be happy to check them with you? That way we can ensure there are no additional performance impacting features on your site. If you want to share any details here or privately via this form I’d be happy to check.

Thanks & Regards,
