Before You Start: Head Section Access Required

To use AppWT Analytics, you need to be able to add code to your website's <head> section. This is where the tracking script goes. Most website platforms support this, including: Custom coded sites, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Shopify, Wix, GoDaddy, Squarespace, and many more.

1

Create Your Account

First, you need an AppWT Analytics account. Go to our pricing page and click "Get Started". Fill in your email, create a password, and complete payment. Your account is ready to use right away.

Create Account
2

Add Your Website

After logging in to your dashboard, look for the "Add Site" button. Type in your website address (like "mywebsite.com" or "www.mywebsite.com"). Click "Register Site" and we will create a tracking code just for you.

3

Get Your Tracking Code

Click the "View API" button next to your website name. You will see a box with your tracking code. It looks like this:

<script src="https://analytics.appwt.com/appwt-analytics/assets/js/tracker.js" data-api-key="appwt_YOUR_KEY_HERE"></script>

Click "Copy Script" to copy the code to your clipboard.

4

Add the Code to Your Website

Now you need to put the tracking code on your website. Choose your website type below for specific instructions:

WordPress Instructions

If you use WordPress, you have several options:

Option 1: Theme Header (Recommended)

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard
  2. Click Appearance then Theme Editor
  3. Find and click on "header.php" in the right sidebar
  4. Find the line that says </head>
  5. Paste your tracking code right BEFORE that line
  6. Click "Update File"

Option 2: Use a Plugin

Install a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" or "WPCode". Then paste your tracking code in the Header section.

HTML Website Instructions

For regular HTML websites:

  1. Open your HTML file in a text editor
  2. Find the </head> tag (near the top of the file)
  3. Paste your tracking code right BEFORE </head>
  4. Save the file and upload it to your server

Do this for every HTML page on your site, or use a shared header file if you have one.

Shopify Instructions

  1. Go to your Shopify admin
  2. Click Online Store then Themes
  3. Click Actions then Edit code
  4. Find "theme.liquid" in the Layout folder
  5. Find the </head> tag
  6. Paste your tracking code right BEFORE </head>
  7. Click Save

Wix Instructions

  1. Go to your Wix dashboard
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Custom Code under Advanced
  4. Click Add Custom Code
  5. Paste your tracking code
  6. Set it to "Head" and "All pages"
  7. Click Apply

Check That It Works

Visit your website in a new browser tab. Then go back to your AppWT Analytics dashboard. Within a few seconds, you should see your visit appear. If you see it, the tracking is working.

Not Seeing Data?

If you do not see your visit after 30 seconds, try clearing your browser cache and visiting your site again. If you use a caching plugin on WordPress, see the LiteSpeed Cache section below.

LiteSpeed Cache Users: Important Setup

If your WordPress site uses LiteSpeed Cache (a popular caching plugin), you need to do one extra step. LiteSpeed may combine your tracking script with other scripts, which can break tracking.

How to Fix LiteSpeed Cache

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard
  2. Click LiteSpeed Cache in the left menu
  3. Click Page Optimization
  4. Click the Tuning tab
  5. Find "JS Excludes" or "JS Deferred Excludes"
  6. Add this line: analytics.appwt.com
  7. Click Save Changes
  8. Go to LiteSpeed Cache > Toolbox > Purge All

Alternative: Inline Script Method

If excluding does not work, you can use the inline loader method. Instead of the regular script tag, use this code:

<script> (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://analytics.appwt.com/appwt-analytics/assets/js/tracker.js'; script.setAttribute('data-api-key', 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'); script.async = true; document.head.appendChild(script); })(); </script>

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your actual API key. This method loads the script in a way that caching plugins cannot interfere with.

Common Questions

Answers to frequent setup questions

How do I install AppWT Analytics on WordPress? +
For WordPress, go to Appearance > Theme Editor > header.php and paste the tracking script before the closing head tag. If you use a caching plugin like LiteSpeed Cache, add the script domain to your JS exclusions list to prevent caching issues.
Does AppWT Analytics work with LiteSpeed Cache? +
Yes. If you use LiteSpeed Cache, you need to exclude the tracking script from JS optimization. Go to LiteSpeed Cache > Page Optimization > Tuning > JS Excludes and add analytics.appwt.com to the list. Then purge all caches.
How long until I see data in my dashboard? +
Data appears in real-time. After installing the tracking script, visit your website and you should see the visit in your dashboard within seconds. If you do not see it after 30 seconds, check that your caching plugin is not blocking the script.
Can I track multiple websites with one account? +
Yes. You can add as many websites as you want to your account. Your first website is $19.97 per month (or $147/year). Each additional website is $9.97 per month (or $77/year). Each website gets its own unique tracking code.
Do I need to add the code to every page? +
If your website uses a shared header (like WordPress themes do), you only need to add the code once. It will automatically appear on all pages. If you have separate HTML files for each page, you need to add the code to each file.
