    I’m using MonsterInsights for basic GA4 tracking. For a small blog, should I keep only pageview tracking enabled first, or is it worth setting up custom events from the start?

    Hi @pablo740,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    For a small blog, the default setup is usually a great starting point. Once MonsterInsights is connected to Google Analytics, the plugin automatically tracks the following:

    • Pageviews
    • Outbound link clicks
    • Download link clicks
    • Affiliate link clicks
    • Telephone link (tel:) clicks
    • Email link (mailto:) clicks
    • Custom link clicks

    MonsterInsights also includes a few useful tools beyond tracking, such as a headline analyzer, a UTM URL builder, a popular posts widget, and the ability to add site notes to mark when you’ve made changes that may affect your analytics.

    If there are any specific custom clicks you’d like to measure that aren’t covered by the defaults, please see our guide for more details: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-add-google-analytics-custom-event-tracking-in-wordpress/

    Hope that helps! But please let me know if you have further questions.

    Thank you.
