Add Antlytics to Hugo

Prerequisites

An Antlytics account (sign up free)
Your tracking ID from Settings → Tracking Snippet in your Antlytics dashboard

Install the snippet

Step 1 — Create the partial

Create layouts/partials/antlytics.html:

<script>
(function(){
  var t="YOUR-SITE-ID",
      u="https://www.antlytics.com/api/ingest/pageview",
      k="ant_sid";
  function sid(){
    try{var s=sessionStorage.getItem(k);if(s)return s;
      s=crypto.randomUUID();sessionStorage.setItem(k,s);return s;}
    catch(e){return crypto.randomUUID();}
  }
  function utm(){
    try{var p=new URLSearchParams(location.search),o={};
      ["utm_source","utm_medium","utm_campaign","utm_term","utm_content"]
        .forEach(function(k){var v=p.get(k);if(v)o[k]=v;});
      return o;}
    catch(e){return {};}
  }
  function send(){
    fetch(u,{method:"POST",headers:{"Content-Type":"application/json"},
      keepalive:true,
      body:JSON.stringify(Object.assign(
        {tracking_id:t,pathname:location.pathname,
         referrer:document.referrer||undefined,session_id:sid()},
        utm()))});
  }
  send();
  window.addEventListener("popstate",send);
})();
</script>

Note: Replace YOUR-SITE-ID with the tracking ID from your Antlytics dashboard.

Step 2 — Include the partial in your base template

Open layouts/_default/baseof.html (or your active theme's equivalent) and add the partial just before </head>:

<!-- layouts/_default/baseof.html -->
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <title>{{ .Title }}</title>
  {{- partial "head.html" . }}
  {{- partial "antlytics.html" . }}
</head>

If you use a third-party theme, override the head partial rather than editing the theme files directly so your change survives theme updates.

Verify installation

Visit your site in a browser.
Open your Antlytics dashboard → Overview.
Your visit should appear within a few seconds.

If data does not appear after a few minutes, check the troubleshooting guide.

Optional: First-party proxy

To avoid ad blockers, set up a first-party proxy on your own domain.
