Google Analytics provides essential insights into your website’s traffic, user behavior, and performance. This guide shows you how to set up a Google Analytics account and connect it to your website hosted on the 10Web platform by adding the tracking code.

Create a Google Analytics property

  1. Visit analytics.google.com and log in with your Google account.
  2. Click the Admin gear icon (bottom-left).
  3. Under the Account column, click Create Account.
  4. Complete the account details and proceed to Next.
  5. Set up a Web property by entering your website name and domain.
  6. Configure business settings and accept the Terms of Service.
  7. Once the property is created, choose Web stream and enter your site URL.\
  8. Copy the Global Site Tag (gtag.js) script shown under Install manually.

Insert the tracking code into the Header using a plugin

If you prefer not to edit theme files, use a lightweight script injection plugin:

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for Insert Headers And Footers plugin.
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.
  4. Go to Settings > WP Headers And Footers.
  5. Paste the Google Analytics script into the Header section.
  6. Click Save Settings.

    Note:

    This method keeps the code persistent even when switching themes.

Add tracking code manually via header.php

  1. In your 10Web dashboard, go to My Websites and click Manage.
  2. Open Hosting Services > connect via SFTP.
  3. Navigate to wp-content/themes/your-active-theme/.
  4. Open header.php.
  5. Paste the Google Analytics script right before the closing </head> tag.
  6. Save the changes.

Important:

This method requires re-adding the code if you change or update your WordPress theme.

Confirm tracking is active

  1. Return to Google Analytics.
  2. Navigate to Reports > Real-Time.
  3. Open your website in a separate window or device.
  4. You should see real-time activity if tracking is correctly installed.

With Google Analytics integrated into your 10Web-hosted website, you'll start receiving valuable data to better understand your audience and improve your site's performance.
