How to install Overtracking in any website? 2.0

To use Overtracking on your website, you need to install a tracking script. The installation is very simple; you just need to place the JavaScript code on your site.

Once the script is installed on the website, all users visiting it will load the script in the background, giving us all the details needed to work our magic and provide you with the analyses you need.

To do this, log in to your Overtracking account and follow these steps:

  1. Go to “Settings” in the lower-left corner.
  2. Click on “General”.
  3. If you have other websites added, make sure you have selected the one where you want to install the tracking script.
  4. Copy the tracking code that appears in the box.
  5. Place this code in your HTML, before the closing </head> tag.

To insert the code, follow these steps:

  1. Open your webpage file: If you are using a CMS (like WordPress, Joomla, or another platform), find where you can edit your site’s code. This is usually found in the appearance section or advanced settings. If your site is custom-built, you’ll need to access the HTML files directly, for example, through a text editor or your hosting platform.
  2. Locate the <head> tag: Once you are in your webpage file (it might be something like index.html or header.php if you are using WordPress), find the line where the <head> tag appears. This tag marks the beginning of the header section of your page. The tracking code should go inside this tag, preferably just before the closing </head> tag.
  3. Paste the code: Once you locate the </head> tag, paste the tracking code right before this closing tag. Here’s a visual example for clarity:
<head>
<!-- There may be other tags here, such as styles or scripts -->
<script>
// This is where you paste the tracking code copied from Overtracking
</script>
</head>
  1. Save the changes: After pasting the code, make sure to save the changes in your file or in the CMS editor you are using.
  2. Verify everything works: To check if the code has been installed correctly, return to your Overtracking account and verify if it is collecting data.

What happens next?

After following these steps, Overtracking will start collecting information from all users visiting your site. This happens automatically, so you won’t need to do anything else. The data will start reflecting on the Overtracking tool’s Dashboard.
