How It Operates
Pulls performance stats (views, traffic, bounce rate) via the Google Analytics API and embeds them in site dashboards.Data Access & Your Privacy
WP Warden connects to your Google account through Google’s own sign-in (OAuth) to power two independent, optional integrations: Google Analytics (traffic, sessions, bounce rate) and Google Search Console (keyword rankings, see SEO Keyword Tracking). Each site owner approves the connection themselves, per site, before any data is requested.
Access is strictly read-only for both integrations β
WP Warden requests only the analytics.readonly and webmasters.readonly
scopes, and never modifies, deletes, or changes any setting in your Google Analytics or Search Console
account.
You can disconnect either integration at any time from Settings β Integrations, which immediately revokes WP Warden’s access to your Google account.
