How to Set Up Google Analytics on WordPress Multisite Network

Looking for an easy way to set up Google Analytics on WordPress multisite network? The MonsterInsights plugin makes it easier than ever to set up Google Analytics on all of your sites. Let’s take a look at how to set up Google Analytics on your multisite network.
