  3. Paste into the Header field
    In the Header field, paste the snippet:
    <!-- HitCounters.com -->
<script async src="https://hitcounters.com/api/tracker.js?code=YOURCODE"></script>
    Replace YOURCODE with your tracking code.

  5. Verify
    Open your published site in a private/incognito window to trigger a pageview, then go to your HitCounters Sites page and click Verify. Done.

Code Injection requires a Business plan or higher

Squarespace gates Code Injection behind paid plans (Business, Commerce Basic, Commerce Advanced). On the Personal plan, Code Injection is locked and there's no clean alternative. The simplest fix is upgrading to Business; analytics tools across the board (HitCounters, Plausible, GA4) all need this.

FAQ

Will Squarespace strip the script?
No. Code Injection injects scripts as-is into <head> on every page. We're a known async script with no inline event handlers, so it sails through.
Does it track Squarespace blog posts?
Yes — Code Injection runs on every page, including blog posts, products, and member pages.
What about the cookie banner?
You don't need one for HitCounters — the tracker uses scoped localStorage, not cookies. (Squarespace itself sets cookies for things like cart and login; that's separate.)
