TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners using Google Analytics 4 who want faster page load times and better performance scores. It solves the problem of Google Analytics' gtag.js being externally hosted with short cache expiry by downloading and hosting the file locally, keeping it automatically updated via WordPress cron.
