How does it work?

You need to install our Metricool tracking code to collect the data from your website or blog. The data will be collected from that moment onwards; it would not be possible to retrieve previous data.

This is a JavaScript code that runs in the browser and makes an asynchronous call to a Metricool service that records the visit. The country and the viewed page are detected through the IP.
The tracker does not execute cookies.

Once the website is connected you will be able to immediately visualize the visits in real time and in 24 hours you will be able to consult the analytics of your website.

It is possible that the name of the website is not displayed correctly when connected, but it will be updated in 24 hours.

👀Considerations

Canva websites do not support Metricool's tracking code.
The tracking pixel option does not collect all blog metrics.

Website Connection

The tracking code for each brand can be obtained in the Connections dashboard - top-right drop-down menu - and then, click on Connect Web.



When you click on this button, you will find three options depending on the type of website you want to install it on:

Option 1: WordPress

For WordPress.org. You must follow these steps:

Install the official Metricool plugin. You can download it from the following link or get it from the Plugin section of your WordPress site.

Navigate to Settings -> Metricool and insert your unique tracking ID that you find on Metricool.

Please make sure you are visiting your website as a non-authenticated user or using an incognito window since we prevent internal traffic tracking.
If you are unable to verify the connection, try to Clear Your Site’s Cache.

Option 2: JavaScript tracking code

This is the option for Blogger, Prestashop, Wix, etc. In this tutorial, you can find more information on how to integrate it.

Option 3: Tracking pixel without Javascript.

This is the option you need to use for WordPress.com. Bear in mind that in this case, Metricool won't be able to collect some stats from your blog.

Once the verification process is completed, the website will be connected to Metricool, and from that moment on, you will be able to view real-time visits.
In the analytics section, data will be displayed starting from the day following the connection (your domain may not be updated until then).

Edit Domain Name

Once the connection is complete, you can edit the website domain by clicking the pencil icon. Keep in mind that editing only changes the displayed name but will not modify the website associated with the installed tracker. Refer to the section Change the connected website if you need to modify it.

Blog Connection

When you connect the website, if the blog has an RSS Feed configured, Metricool will automatically detect it and a new box will appear with the blog connection and the feed URL underneath.

We will display the history of blog posts based on the configuration of your RSS feed. In other words, limits can be set to display a list (for example, 50 posts); our code will be limited to reading the information we obtain.

In case it does not connect automatically or the feed is not configured at that moment, it can be done manually from the connections panel.

Exclude own visits

Own visits can be excluded from the Real-Time menu > Exclude visits.
If there are multiple IPs, you need to exclude visits from each of them.

Additionally, in the same menu, you have the option to display the complete URLs and enable auto-refresh.

Disconnect a website

If you need to disconnect a website, then you must remove our tracking code from that website. It may take a few days to complete the disconnection if any residual visits occur due to the code being stored in the browser's cache.

Change the connected website

If you want to monitor another site, you can use the same code for the new site, you must delete the code from the website that you no longer want to monitor beforehand.
Please note that the data history of the disconnected website will not be deleted. Also, it is normal that for a couple of days some data will still be collected from the disconnected website.

Remember that when you change the tracking code to another website, you will be able to see the real time visits immediately, ohwever, you'll need to wait for a period of 24 hours before accessing the analytics for the new website. The domain will also be updated after 24 hours.

No data available

If no data is appearing, refer to the article I have connected the web / blog but no data appears
