Let WordPress display the number of visitors through Google Analytics

　　一直以來，The number of visitors to my blog is counted through the website "HiStats"，The functions and interface provided by HiStats are quite good.，But in the past few years, I have gradually noticed that blogging will become slower and slower because of HiStats.，What causes slowdowns are connections to specific third-party URLs。After checking the information, someone said，HiStats does sell some information to third parties，That's why there are these URLs。

Searched online for other solutions，Finally found the Sig GA4 Widget plug-in，Traffic data can be retrieved from Google Analytics to display，And I already use Google Analytics，This way it will be simpler。
