Add RUM to your Wordpress site

1 min read

Installing Cronitor RUM on your Wordpress 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

Installing the analytics script on your Wordpress based website is super simple.

  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. Alternatively, you can always find it again from the Site dashboard page.
  3. Install a plugin for adding code to your HTML’s header, such as the Insert Headers and Footers plugin.
  4. Paste your Cronitor RUM snippet into the Scripts in Header text box.
  5. Save your changes.

All done - that’s all you need to add analytics to your Wordpress project!

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.
