Hello Friends today I am going to share how to add google analytics code on your wordpress website using hooks in functions.php, To do so you can use wp_head hook. The wp_head action hook is triggered within the <head></head> tag. You can also use lots of available plugins but that makes your website heavy so for small features/functionality it is better to use fuctions.php.

So here is the code

//Google Anylytics Tracking Code
add_action( 'wp_head', 'analytics_tracking_code' );
function analytics_tracking_code() {
?>
<script>
 //paste your google analytics tracking code here

</script>
<?php
}
