Cloud Hosting Setup

Get started with our hosted analytics service in under 60 seconds. No infrastructure management required!

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit betterlytics.io/register
Sign up with your email address
Complete your profile setup

Step 2: Create Your Website Dashboard

Click “Create Dashboard” in your dashboard overview
Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com)
Click “Create Dashboard”

Your dashboard will now be created and you’ll be automatically redirected to the dashboard.

Step 3: Install Your Tracking Script

Once your dashboard is created, click the “Integration” button in your dashboard to access your personalized setup guide. Here you’ll find your unique Site ID and your preferred integration method.

Option 1: Use the Script Tag

The integration guide will walk you through adding our lightweight tracking script to your website’s <head> section. The script will look like this:


<script
  async
  src="https://betterlytics.io/analytics.js"
  data-site-id="your-unique-site-id"
  data-server-url="https://betterlytics.io/track"
></script>

This works great for plain HTML sites or if you want a no-code/low-code option.

Follow the guide’s platform-specific instructions for your tech stack (HTML, Next.js, React, etc.). The guide includes a real-time verification tool that will confirm when your installation is successful - you should see your first data appear within 1-2 minutes of installation.

Option 2: Use Our NPM Package (Recommended for React, Next.js, etc.)

For modern JavaScript frameworks, you can use our official NPM package.

You can install it using your favorite package manager:

npm


npm install @betterlytics/tracker

pnpm


pnpm add @betterlytics/tracker

yarn


yarn add @betterlytics/tracker

bun


bun add @betterlytics/tracker

Then initialize it in your app:


import betterlytics from "@betterlytics/tracker";
 
betterlytics.init("your-site-id");

This is ideal for SPAs or component-based frameworks where script tags don’t always play nice.

You can read more about the package and it’s use-cases here @betterlytics/tracker
