How to use Plausible analytics with Obsidian Publish

%% date:: [[2024-01-22]] parent:: %% # [[How to use Plausible analytics with Obsidian Publish]] [[Plausible Analytics]] requires you to include a script in the `<head>` of your [[Static site generator|statically generated]] site so that they can track visits. [[Obsidian Publish]] is a generator and hosting provider, but they don't give you access to the head tag. Instead, what you can do is add this script to a file called `publish.js` that is within your Obsidian vault: ```js var plausibleSnippet = document.createElement('script'); plausibleSnippet.defer = true; plausibleSnippet.setAttribute('data-domain', 'yourdomain.com'); plausibleSnippet.src = 'https://plausible.io/js/plausible.js'; document.head.appendChild(plausibleSnippet); ``` [^obsidianforum] Replace `yourdomain.com` with the URL you're hosting your notes on. Re-publish your Obsidian Publish vault, including the new `publish.js` file. Then, add the site to Plausible as usual. [^obsidianforum]: User @phrsn on the Obsidian community forum.
