Most WordPress site owners who enable GA4 enhanced measurement believe their tracking is complete — it almost certainly isn’t. Enhanced measurement is GA4’s built-in auto-tracking layer.

One is built for simplicity and data privacy. The other is built for growth. Both are legitimate WordPress analytics plugins with real strengths, but they serve different types of website owners. […]
