HTML / Your own custom website Web Analytics Plugin

⬅️ Back to all plugins  

If you built your own website, or someone did it for you (as opposed to running on a platform like WordPress), then you'll need to add the tracking code to your website's HTML manually.

Does your site use Cloudflare? Good news, there's a super simple method to add the code with their free "Zaraz" feature. Otherwise, read on...

Most sites have what are called "header" and "footer" files, which are files that are automatically included at the top and bottom of every page on your website. Headers and footers are handy because it makes it very easy to make global changes to your website's design. For example, say you wanted to add a new link to your navigation bar, or a new link to the footer of your website. By using header and footer files, you only have to make this change in one file, and every page gets the update automatically.

If your site uses this type of design (and if not, it should), then all you need to do is paste our tracking code into your footer file. We recommend putting the code right before the closing </body> tag.

If your website does not have footer files, you will need to manually paste the code onto every page of your website.

The tracking code for each registered site on Clicky is unique. You can find the tracking code for any of your registered sites within the Preferences area for that site. The link to Preferences is in the sidebar when viewing the reports for any of your sites on Clicky.
