Tracking Guide — Dashtics

What Dashtics tracks automatically

Once the script is installed, Dashtics records pageviews automatically. You can then add custom events and ecommerce on top.

Pageviews

Tracked on load and on SPA route changes.
Custom events

Track clicks, form submissions, downloads, and more.
Ecommerce

Record purchases, revenue, currency, and product metadata.

1. Install the script

Add Dashtics to every page

Place the script in the <head> of every page. If you use WordPress, the Code Snippets plugin is a simple way to add it once and load it site-wide.

Example: static HTML site

HTML

<script src="https://dashtics.eu/static/script.js"
        data-site="YOUR_SITE_TOKEN"
        async></script>

WordPress: Code Snippets plugin

Create a new PHP snippet, set it to run everywhere, and hook the script into wp_head. That keeps the tag in the <head> without editing your theme files.

Install and activate the Code Snippets plugin.
Go to Snippets → Add New and choose a PHP snippet.
Paste the code below, set it to run everywhere, then save and activate.

PHP

<?php
add_action('wp_head', function () {
    echo '<script src="https://dashtics.eu/static/script.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_TOKEN" async></script>';
});

2. Track custom actions

Measure the actions that matter

Use window.analytics.track() for actions that are not pageviews. Pass properties when you want to filter or segment later.

Example 1: CTA click

JavaScript

window.analytics.track('cta_click', {
  location: 'hero',
  label: 'Start free trial'
});

Example 2: form submission

JavaScript

window.analytics.track('lead_form_submit', {
  form: 'contact',
  plan: 'pro'
});

Example 3: download or content action

JavaScript

window.analytics.track('pdf_download', {
  title: 'Tracking Guide',
  format: 'pdf'
});

3. Track ecommerce

Record purchases and revenue

Call window.analytics.purchase() on the order confirmation page or right after payment succeeds. Fire it once per order.

Example 1: one-time purchase

JavaScript

window.analytics.purchase('ord_12345', 49.95, 'EUR');

Example 2: subscription upgrade

JavaScript

window.analytics.purchase('sub_98765', 29.00, 'EUR', {
  product_name: 'Pro Plan'
});

Example 3: order with extra product data

JavaScript

window.analytics.purchase('ord_55555', 149.00, 'EUR', {
  product_name: 'Agency Bundle',
  product_id: 'bundle_agency',
  quantity: 3
});

Verify it is working

Open your site in a browser and load a page.
Open DevTools, go to Network, and filter for collect.
Confirm that POST /collect returns 202 Accepted.
