Google Analytics Can Be Frustrating
When checking out GA for organic search results it can be a frustrating experience. The bulk of organic visitors are shown as ( not provided).
Consequently, I can’t tell which posts are driving my organic traffic.
Is there any way to change the way this information is provided in GA?

I use Monster Insights. It's a free WP plugin that links to your Google Analytics and displays the information you want in your WP site's back office.
That sounds cool.
Is it heavy on resources? Ie. does it need to be Active all the time or does it just pull info from GA when you activate it and you can switch it off afterwards?

Ah. So you can just activate it to get the stats then deactivate it again?
Great! :-)
Thanks Phil.

You don't have to "deactivate" it.
When you click it, it fetches data from Google Analytics. In about one second.
Otherwise, it just sits there, doing nothing.
I've just tried it - brilliant!! Thanks for the tip!
I'm just wary of adding plugins so I tend to deactivate ones that aren't needed all the time such as making a Page into a Post.
I might be paranoid but it doesn't mean I'm wrong! :-)
