Add RUM to your HTML site

1 min read

Installing Cronitor RUM on your HTML website is simple - all you have to do is add our analytics snippet.

The analytics snippet is a small piece of code that runs on your website, collecting the metrics necessary to power your dashboard and provide performance insights. It’s cookieless and privacy-oriented.

Installation Steps

  1. If you haven’t already, add your site to Cronitor, give it any name you want to help you recognize it later.
  2. Copy the Javascript snippet that is shown to you after creating the website.
  3. Paste the snippet on your website’s base HTML template, preferably at the bottom of the <head> section.

For example:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <!-- Your website's head -->

    <!-- Cronitor RUM -->
    <script async src="https://rum.cronitor.io/script.js"></script>
    <script>
        window.cronitor = window.cronitor || function() { (window.cronitor.q = window.cronitor.q || []).push(arguments); };
        cronitor('config', {
            clientKey: 'YOUR_CLIENT_KEY',
            debug: false,
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Your website's content -->
</body>
</html>

Check your installation

After you have added our analytics script to your website, you should be able to see pageviews show up in the dashboard within a minute of the visitors coming into your website.
