Papercrane
WordPress can tell you how one post did. It can't tell you, across every post, category, and tag, which ones are still earning attention in Search Console and Analytics, and which ones are dead weight.

WordPress tracks every post one at a time and rolls up none of it: no screen anywhere lists every post by age, category, and trend together, and the plugin that adds that view charges by the rung.
What you get, by tool and tier
| Capability | Jetpack Stats (native) | Google Site Kit (free) | MonsterInsights | Papercrane |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Prices are MonsterInsights' current introductory rates. Content inventory, one view of every post's age, category, and trend together, isn't a paid feature anywhere else. Nobody sells the rollup.
Which posts published over a year ago still get organic search traffic?
Which categories used to perform and have gone quiet?
Which posts have real comment activity but almost no traffic, and which have traffic but nobody comments?
Which tags have the most posts and the least traffic, the ones we could safely retire?
How does publishing cadence by author line up with what actually performs?
Of everything published this quarter, what's worth a refresh before we write anything new?
The cyan tags mark answers that pull in Search Console or Analytics. Every answer comes back as a dashboard, not a paragraph.
The quarterly refresh
A content lead pulls every post older than a year, ranked by search traffic decline, and hands the top twenty to writers for a refresh instead of guessing which ones need it.
The agency rollup
An agency running blogs for six clients connects each site and asks the same content inventory question across all of them, addressed by name, instead of opening six separate admin panels.
1. Connect with a key from wp-admin
2. Ask a question
3. The agent finds the query, joins Search Console or Analytics if the question needs them, and builds a hosted dashboard
4. It stays live, and errors route back to the agent
Read access to the posts, pages, and comments you already publish. Nothing changes in your content or theme.
When you don't need us
If all you need is how your site is doing in search and how people move through it once they land, Google Site Kit is free, official, and joins Search Console and Analytics right inside wp-admin. Papercrane is worth connecting when the question is bigger than one site level number: rolling every post up by category and tag, weighing comments against traffic, or auditing everything instead of just the top 20%.
Content answers get sharper with evidence. Most WordPress dashboards also connect Search Console for what people search to find your posts, and Analytics for what they do once they land.
Connect WordPress, ask which posts are still working, and see the inventory nobody's plugin rolls up.
