MainWP is tracked by Google links

Thanks for bringing that up, your concerns and issues on where you can reach the Google servers is something I can honestly say I didn’t take into account.

We’ll add the code directly into the plugin in the next version without referencing Google.

That’s great news, and you can be sure that I will pick up many of the add-ons, because otherwise the software is pretty cool. ^_^

Can you tell me what is going on at https://github.com/mainwp/mainwp/blob/2dd6b1ecb62275dd53ca703f1f2bbaf5abb711ab/class/MainWPSystem.class.php#L1763-L1766?

On each page load in the MainWP dashboard, it is pinging Google servers. I am not sure what that snippet is for.

I believe that snippet has been removed in the current versions.

Thanks for checking. One of the scripts is gone, but there is still this at https://github.com/mainwp/mainwp/blob/master/class/MainWPSystem.class.php#L1881-L1883

echo '<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
</script>';

What does that one do?

We use the piechart javascript from google: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart#Overview.

The library is loaded locally (no ping-back from google) in the MainWP dashboard and is ready to be used in extensions, for example the Main WP Google Analytics Extension (cfr: MainWPGA.class.php file from that Extension).
