Step-by-step

  1. Get your tracking code
    Sign up free at HitCounters, add your Carrd domain (.carrd.co or your custom domain), and copy your 16-character tracking code.
  2. In Carrd, add an Embed element
    Open your site in the Carrd builder. Click the + button to add a new element, choose Embed from the menu.
  3. Set Type to "Code"
    In the embed settings, set Type to Code, and Style to Hidden (so it doesn't show on the page; we just need it to run).
  4. Paste the snippet
    In the Code field, paste:
    <!-- HitCounters.com -->
<script async src="https://hitcounters.com/api/tracker.js?code=YOURCODE"></script>
    Replace YOURCODE with your tracking code.
  5. Publish and verify
    Click Publish. Visit your live Carrd site, then go to your HitCounters Sites page and click Verify.

Pro plan: head injection

On Carrd Pro, you can inject directly into <head> via Site Settings → Embed with placement set to Head. This is technically cleaner but the Embed-element method works equally well for tracking.

FAQ

Carrd is free / cheap. Is HitCounters free too?
Yes, we have a real free plan. You can fully use HitCounters on a free Carrd site without spending a dollar on either.
Will it bloat my one-page Carrd site?
No. The tracker is async and under 25 KB. Carrd's tiny load times stay tiny.
Can I track button clicks (e.g. Sign up CTA)?
Yes. Add another Embed element with code like <script>document.querySelector('a[href*="signup"]').addEventListener('click', () => hcEvent('signup'));</script>, then create a matching Event goal.
