How to add the Siteimprove Analytics script manually

Overview

If you are able to access the HTML of your website or your Content Management System has a field specifically for adding tracking code you will be able add the Siteimprove Analytics code to your site.

Steps

1. Add the code to your website

It is recommended that you place the Siteimprove Analytics JavaScript on every page of your website just above the closing body-tag which looks like this.

2. Place the script correctly

The Siteimprove Analytics JavaScript is asynchronous which means it will not affect your website’s performance, can work seamlessly with other JavaScript, and is not required to be placed in a specific location on your website.

Note: We recommend that the JavaScript is always added at the bottom of the website in a footer or similar, just before the closing HTML body tag.

Add the code in your CMS

3. Add code directly in CMS

In this instance, you will want to find the file for the footer of your website (in WordPress that is footer.php for example) and place the code above the closing body-tag.

4. Have your provider add the code

In some cases, you will not have access to include files like your footer. If this is your situation you will need to contact your content management system provider and request that they insert the JavaScript on your behalf.

The JavaScript should still be inserted just above the closing body tag.

There can be a cost associated with this so be sure to inquire about fees with your website provider.
