Add the embed script
To start using Fathom Analytics, you simply have to add a single line of code to the header section of your website (where “ABCDEFG” is your actual Site ID):
<script src="https://cdn.usefathom.com/script.js" data-site="ABCDEFG" defer></script>
Creating or retrieving your embed code
- Log into Fathom.
- Click
Settings
, thenSites
. - If you create a new site, add your site name in
Create a new site
and clickCreate Site
. Copy your embed code and paste it into the head section of your site. - If you need the embed code for an existing site, click on the site name, then copy your embed code (at the top of the page) and paste it into the head section of your site.
You then need to verify that your script is installed correctly.
