Install on SvelteKit

Add Carthagos Analytics to a SvelteKit site: where the snippet goes and how to verify it.

The short way

From your project folder, let the CLI detect SvelteKit and place the snippet itself:

terminal
npx getopen init

It asks for your tracking key (dashboard, your site, Settings, Installation), writes the tag, and prints which file it changed. Prefer to do it by hand? The steps below are what it does.

Manual steps

1. SvelteKit renders every page through one HTML template; the snippet goes into its <head>, above %sveltekit.head%.

src/app.html
<script
  async
  src="https://c.analytics.carthagos.com/oa.js"
  data-key="YOUR_TRACKING_KEY"
  data-collector="https://c.analytics.carthagos.com"
></script>

2. Deploy and open the site at the address you gave the dashboard. The realtime view shows the visit within seconds; historical charts fill moments later. Loading it on your dev server first still tells you something: the dashboard's waiting screen names the host it saw the tag load on, and the tracker writes one line in the browser console when that host is not one the site counts. Visits themselves are only counted from the site's own domain, because localhost cannot be listed: deploy to see data, or empty the allowed domains list in Settings while you install.

Next

Route changes in a single-page app are tracked automatically, and the snippet never needs editing for updates. From here: custom events for the actions you care about, or script options for test mode and the privacy attributes.
