 * Hey again just a quick note…
 * I had my site verfied in Google search console using the tracking code option
   and this no longer works for me.
 * I tried using the header placement option in the plugin settings and it just 
   wouldn’t verify. I am also using CdnEnabler.
 * No big deal! I simply used another verification method (HTML file upload) and
   was verified without issue.
 * Just a heads up for information purposes in case others are using tracking code
   for site verification.
 * Cheers!

 * Ya I wasn’t trying to say this plugin was supposed to verify. What I was trying
   to say is that the code this plugin directly replaces WAS able to verify and 
   that by using this plugin verification by analytics is no longer possible so 
   people are aware of this difference.
 * Thank you
