INSTALL FEATHERWEIGHT

Add the Featherweight tracking script to any website in about two minutes — paste one line into your site’s <head> and you’re counting. No cookies, no consent banner, works on the free plan.

2 min read Any website One line of code
Before you start

You’ll need a Featherweight account and access to edit your site’s HTML or a way to add a script to the <head>. Don’t have an account yet? Start free — it takes under a minute.

1

COPY YOUR TRACKING SNIPPET

In Featherweight, open Site Settings → Tracking Code. You’ll find a single <script> tag with your own domain filled into the data-site attribute. Here’s what it looks like — copy your own version from the dashboard:

<script defer data-site="YOURWEBSITE.COM" src="https://cdn.featherweight.eu/fw.js"></script>
2

PASTE IT BEFORE </HEAD>

Open your site’s HTML and paste the snippet on the line just above the closing </head> tag. Placing it in the <head> means it loads on every page automatically.

Where to paste On the line directly above the closing </head> tag — not inside the <body>.
Which pages Once in the shared <head>, it loads site-wide. You only need to add it once.
data-site value Must exactly match the domain you registered in Featherweight, without https:// or a trailing slash.
TIP

Using a website builder or CMS? Most have a “custom code” or “header scripts” setting where you can paste the snippet without touching raw HTML.

PUBLISH & VERIFY

Save and publish your changes so they go live. Open your site in a new tab, then check the Featherweight dashboard — your visit should appear in Realtime within a few seconds.

What you should see

When your test visit appears in Realtime, you’re all set — Featherweight will track every pageview on your site. No cookie banner to add, nothing else to configure.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My pageviews aren’t showing up

Confirm the snippet sits just above </head>, that you saved and published your changes, and that data-site exactly matches your domain in Featherweight. Disable any ad-blocker while testing — Realtime can take up to a minute on first install.

Can I add the script somewhere other than the <head>?

The <head> is recommended so it loads on every page as early as possible. It will still work if placed before the closing </body> tag, but head placement is the most reliable.

Do I need a cookie banner?

No. Featherweight sets no cookies and collects no personal data, so there’s nothing for visitors to consent to — you stay GDPR-ready with no banner.

My platform isn’t listed anywhere

These steps work on any site where you can edit the HTML or add header code. Let us know your platform and we’ll add an install guide pronto!
