Ghost CMS

Add Humblytics Analytics to Ghost CMS

1 · Sign up (or log in)

Visit humblytics.com → Start Free Trial. Finish signup—or log in to your existing workspace.

2 · Add your website in Humblytics

In the sidebar, click Add Website.

  • Domain – enter your-domain.com (omit https:// and www)

  • Site Name – internal label (e.g. Blog-Prod)

Copy the snippet from Install Tracking Code:

html

<!-- Start Humblytics Tracking Code -->
<script async src="https://app.humblytics.com/hmbl.min.js?id=YOUR_ID_HERE"></script>
<!-- End Humblytics Tracking Code -->

Keep this tab open—we'll return and click Verify Website once the tag is live.

3 · Add the script to your Ghost site

Option 1: Code Injection (recommended)

Best for: Managed Ghost(Pro) or self-hosted Ghost without custom theme development

  1. Go to your Ghost Admin Dashboard

  2. In the sidebar, click Settings → Code Injection

  3. Under Site Header, paste your Humblytics snippet:

html

<script async src="https://app.humblytics.com/hmbl.min.js?id=YOUR_ID_HERE"></script>

  1. Click Save

Ghost will automatically inject this into the <head> of every page.

Option 2: Theme Files

Best for: Custom themes or multiple environments (staging/production with different tracking IDs)

  1. Download your active theme:

    • Go to Settings → Design

    • Click the ⋮ menu next to your active theme

    • Select Download

  2. Extract the theme and open default.hbs (or your theme's main layout file)

  3. Locate the closing </head> tag and paste your script just above it:

html

  <script async src="https://app.humblytics.com/hmbl.min.js?id=YOUR_ID_HERE"></script>
</head>

  1. Zip the modified theme and re-upload:

    • Go to Settings → Design

    • Click Upload theme

    • Select your modified theme zip file

Note: Replace YOUR_ID_HERE with your actual project ID from Humblytics.

4 · Verify installation

  1. Return to Humblytics and click Verify Website

  2. Open your live Ghost site in a private/incognito window and refresh once

  3. Within ~30 seconds you should see a green Verified badge and live visitor count

If verification fails, check:

  • Script ID matches your project in Humblytics

  • You clicked Save in Code Injection (or uploaded the modified theme)

  • You're testing on the correct domain (not localhost)

  • No browser extensions or ad-blockers are interfering

5 · Explore & optimize

  • Dashboard – view traffic, top posts, and referrers

  • Heatmaps – auto-generated from real user interactions

  • Experiments – run A/B tests on your Ghost pages (Experiments → New Test)
