Install on Squarespace
A header Code Injection entry counts every page on the site, including pages you add later.
Before you paste anything
Every snippet below shows YOUR-SITE-ID
. Replace it with your own site id, which is on the Tracking Code page of the site in your account.
If you do not have an account yet, creating one and adding your domain takes about a minute.
Add the snippet to Code Injection
- In your Squarespace dashboard, go to Settings, then Advanced, then Code Injection.
- Paste the snippet into the Header box.
- Save, then open your live site in a new tab.
<script>
(function () {
// Ensure this only runs in a browser environment.
if (typeof window === 'undefined' || typeof document === 'undefined') {
return;
}
var siteId = 'YOUR-SITE-ID';
var trackingDomain = 'www.veritametrics.com'; // 1. Initialize the Async Command Queue
// This ensures window.verita() is available immediately.
window.verita =
window.verita ||
function () {
(window.verita.q = window.verita.q || []).push(arguments);
};
window.verita.l = new Date().getTime(); // 2. Load the enhanced tracker script asynchronously.
// It will process the command queue once loaded.
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'https://' + trackingDomain + '/api/tracker.js?siteId=' + siteId;
script.async = true;
script.defer = true;
script.dataset.siteId = siteId;
script.dataset.trackingDomain = trackingDomain;
document.head.appendChild(script); // 3. Send the initial pageview using the *queue*
window.verita('trackPageView');
})();
</script>

</noscript>Check that the data is arriving
- Open your site in a browser and load any page.
- In VeritaMetrics, open the site and click Tracking Code in the sidebar. The status turns active and your visit appears in the recent-pageviews list within a few seconds.
If nothing arrives, open your browser devtools on the Network tab and reload. You should see a request to /api/tracker.js that returns 200, then a request to /api/v1/c when you move or scroll.
Code Injection needs a paid plan and a live site
Code Injection is unavailable on the Personal trial and on unpublished sites, and the box can look saved while the code never reaches a visitor. Check a page on your live domain in a private window rather than inside the Squarespace editor.
