   Hi,

   I'm running a website with WooCommerce and the Abundance Theme, I just want to clarify the Google Analytics Tracking implementation.

   The theme has an input field for the Tracking Code, WooCommerce also has a field to input the tracking code.
   My question is: should I be putting the tracking code in both the theme settings and in the WooCommerce settings, or should I prefer one over the other. The WooCommerce Analytics setting has an option "Add tracking code to your site's footer. You don't need to enable this if using a 3rd party analytics plugin" - should I enable this option and consider the theme as the 3rd party analytics plugin?

   Second to this, if I had to install the Yoast Analytics plugin, should I set the tracking code in the Theme, WooCommerce and the Yoast plugin or is this redundant and will it slow down the site?

   Thanks,
   Lawrence

   Hi Lawrence,

   You can put the tracking code in one of the plugins but don't put it on both plugins(it will be redundant). If your site is experiencing slow loading of page, try to one of this optimization plugins: W3 Total Cache or Super Cache. Hope this helps. :)

   Hi Ismael,

   Thank you for clarifying this for me, I've disabled the tracking code in the theme and just left the tracking code set in the WooCommerce settings. With regards to the site speed, the biggest culprit was my host, I've since migrated my site to a new server is the site is much faster. Now I am busy working on the rest of the optimization issues such as image optimization etc...
