GoatCounter documentation (original) (raw)

Getting started

Getting started is pretty easy, just add the following JavaScript anywhere on the page:

Check if your adblocker is blocking GoatCounter if you don’t see any pageviews (goatcounter.com and/or gc.zgo.at domain).

Integrations

Endpoint

You’ll need to copy this to the integration settings

Paste the following in Custom Javascript in the Customize page:

const script = document.createElement('script'); script.setAttribute('defer', true); script.setAttribute('src', 'https://gc.zgo.at/count.js'); script.setAttribute('data-goatcounter', 'https://MYCODE.goatcounter.com/count'); document.body.appendChild(script);

After setup

Here are some things you may want to look at after setting up the above:

• Make sure GoatCounter is allowed in theContent-Security-Policy if you’re using it.
• If you’re not seeing any pageviews then chances are your browser’s adblocker is blocking it. Disable it and check again. It can take about 10 seconds for pageviews to appear, but this should never be longer.
• You may want to consider adding a canonical link, for example:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/path.html">  

See Control the path that’s sent to GoatCounter for more details.

• Prevent tracking my own pageviews? documents some ways you can ignore your own pageviews from showing up in the dashboard.
