Google Site Kit makes it convenient to connect WordPress with Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console. But when you need a repeatable monthly report—one you can compare, export, print, or email—you may still find yourself moving between several dashboards.
Site Kit Monthly Reports is a free WordPress plugin that turns your existing Site Kit connection into a detailed reporting workspace inside WordPress. It brings GA4 and Search Console metrics together under Tools → Monthly Reports, with no separate Google API keys to configure.
The plugin is designed for site owners, marketers, freelancers, agencies, bloggers, and administrators who want useful website-performance reporting without adding another external analytics service.
Site Kit Monthly Reports is an independent community plugin. It is not developed, endorsed, or supported by Google.
What Does Site Kit Monthly Reports Do?
The plugin requests Analytics and Search Console data through the Site Kit connection already configured on your WordPress website. It organizes that data into readable metric cards, charts, and tables.
You can select a calendar month or enter a custom date range of up to 366 days. Calendar months are compared with the previous calendar month, while custom ranges are compared with the immediately preceding period of equal length.
This makes it easier to answer practical questions such as:
- Did traffic grow compared with the previous period?
- Which pages attracted the most visitors?
- Which campaigns and channels generated sessions?
- What devices, browsers, countries, and languages did visitors use?
- Which Google searches produced clicks?
- Which keywords have strong impressions but still have room to improve?
Key Features
GA4 Performance Overview
The Analytics overview includes:
- Total users
- New users
- Sessions
- Engaged sessions
- Page views
- Average session duration
- Engagement rate
- Bounce rate
Each overview metric includes a percentage change from the comparison period. Daily charts help you identify spikes, declines, and other patterns that may be hidden by monthly totals.
Content and Landing Page Reports
See which content contributes most to your website’s performance. Reports include:
- Top page paths
- Top page titles
- Landing pages
- Event activity
These tables can help you identify popular articles, important entry pages, and content that deserves further optimization.
Acquisition and Campaign Reporting
The plugin provides several views of where visitors came from:
- Default channel group
- Source and medium
- GA4 campaign name
Sessions, users, and engagement metrics can help you compare organic search, direct traffic, referrals, social activity, and tagged marketing campaigns.
Audience and Technology Insights
Understand the people and technology behind your traffic with reports for:
- New versus returning visitors
- Countries and cities
- Languages
- Device categories
- Operating systems
- Browsers
These details can guide content localization, device testing, accessibility work, and performance optimization.
Google Search Console Reports
The Search Console section includes:
- Total clicks
- Total impressions
- Average click-through rate
- Average position
- Daily click and impression trends
- Top search queries
- Top pages in Google Search
- Search performance by country
- Search performance by device
Average position is impression-weighted, and aggregate click-through rate is calculated from total clicks and impressions.
Built-In SEO Opportunity Finder
One of the most useful features is the SEO Opportunities report. It identifies high-impression queries currently ranking between positions 4 and 20 and prioritizes terms with room for click-through-rate improvement.
These queries can be strong candidates for:
- Improving SEO titles and meta descriptions
- Expanding an existing article
- Strengthening internal links
- Better matching search intent
- Adding helpful examples, FAQs, or structured data
The minimum-impressions threshold is configurable, so small sites and established publishers can use settings appropriate for their traffic.
The report is a prioritization aid, not a guarantee of higher rankings. Review each query in context before changing content.
Export, Print, and Share Reports
Site Kit Monthly Reports supports several output formats:
- CSV export for spreadsheets and client reporting
- JSON export for structured data workflows and custom integrations
- Print-friendly layout that can be printed or saved as a PDF from the browser
- HTML email summaries delivered automatically to one or more recipients
Email delivery is optional and disabled by default. Administrators can configure the delivery day, hour, recipients, and subject line. A test-email button helps verify the site’s mail setup before enabling the schedule.
WordPress Dashboard Snapshot
If you want a faster overview, enable the optional WordPress Dashboard widget. It displays six previous-month KPIs:
- Users
- Sessions
- Page views
- Search clicks
- Search impressions
- Average search CTR
The widget links directly to the full report and uses the same cached data to reduce unnecessary requests.
Privacy and Security
The plugin is built around WordPress-native security practices:
- Reports require an administrator capability by default.
- Export, refresh, email-test, and settings actions use WordPress nonces.
- Inputs are sanitized and report output is escaped.
- Email delivery is opt-in.
- Recipient addresses are validated.
- Successful report requests are cached using WordPress transients.
- Uninstalling the plugin removes its settings, scheduled event, and cached report data.
Analytics data is not sent to the plugin author. Requests run inside WordPress and use the current Site Kit connection.
Developers can change the required capability with the skmr_manage_capability filter when a reporting role should have access.
How to Install Site Kit Monthly Reports

- Confirm that the administrator viewing or sending reports can access data in Site Kit.
- Never include Google access tokens or private analytics data in a public support request.
