Reviews
what people actually sayYandex.Metrica is a niche plugin for adding Yandex Metrica tracking to WordPress, but it carries a poor reputation due to recurring activation errors, site-breaking bugs, and performance issues.
What people like
- +Described by at least one user as a practical and convenient way to add Yandex Metrica tracking code
Common complaints
- −Fatal PHP syntax error on activation prevents the plugin from loading at all×2
- −Saving settings in the admin panel crashes the WordPress admin (wp_die / nonce error), requiring plugin removal to recover
- −Causes significant page load slowdown
- −Incorrectly counts cart-added products as negative values in e-commerce tracking
- −Generates error logs that cannot be deleted by the user
- −Source code is not publicly available (e.g. on GitHub), making community fixes difficult

Concentration and drive-by metrics drive the review-burst and fake-review flags. 30–40% solo reviewers is normal; we only flag the extremes.
