Install on HTML / static sites

Add Open Analytics to a HTML / static sites site: where the snippet goes and how to verify it.

The short way

From your project folder, let the CLI detect HTML / static sites and place the snippet itself:

terminal
npx getopen init

It asks for your tracking key (dashboard, your site, Settings, Installation), writes the tag, and prints which file it changed. Prefer to do it by hand? The steps below are what it does.

Manual steps

1. Paste the snippet into the <head> of every page. On a static site with shared includes, the shared header is the right place.

index.html
<script
  async
  src="https://c.getopen.so/oa.js"
  data-key="YOUR_TRACKING_KEY"
  data-collector="https://c.getopen.so"
></script>

2. Deploy (or run your dev server) and open the site once. The realtime view in your dashboard shows the visit within seconds; historical charts fill moments later.

Next

Route changes in a single-page app are tracked automatically, and the snippet never needs editing for updates. From here: custom events for the actions you care about, or script options for test mode and the privacy attributes.
