Getting Started

Start tracking visitors in under a minute. No build tools, no config files, no cookies.

1. Create an account

2. Add your website

After signing in, go to Account Preferences → Sites and click Add site. Enter your domain (e.g. example.com) and LiteStats will generate a unique tracking snippet for you.

3. Install the tracking script

Copy the snippet and paste it into the <head> section of your website:

<script
  async
  src="https://litestats.io/track.js"
  data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>

That's it — one line. The script is under 1 KB, loads asynchronously, and will not affect your page speed.

4. Verify your site

After adding the script to your site, click Verify in the modal. LiteStats will check that the script is installed correctly. Once verified, data will begin appearing on your dashboard.

5. View your dashboard

Navigate to your overview to see all your sites at a glance, or click into any site to view the full analytics dashboard.

Framework-specific guides

The tracking script works with any website. Here are quick tips for popular frameworks:

Next.js (App Router)

Add the script to your root layout.tsx inside the <head> tag:

// app/layout.tsx
<head>
  <script
    async
    src="https://litestats.io/track.js"
    data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"
    crossOrigin="anonymous"
  />
</head>

WordPress

Go to Appearance → Theme Editor → header.php (or use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers") and paste the script tag before the closing </head> tag.

Shopify

Go to Online Store → Themes → Edit Code → theme.liquid and paste the script inside the <head> section.

Static HTML

Simply paste the <script> tag into the <head> of every HTML page, or in a shared header include.
