Add Hotjar to your site

Heatmaps, recordings and feedback polls. Loads only after a visitor accepts analytics cookies.

Updated 2026-11-02

01What it does

  • Every page of the published site (head tag, consent-gated)

02What you need

  • Site ID

03Connect it

  1. In Hotjar, add your site and open Sites & Organizations to copy its numeric Site ID.
  2. In Studio → ⋯ → Widgets → Hotjar, switch it on.
  3. Paste it into "Site ID".
  4. Save, then Publish — widgets go live with your next publish, not before.

04Check it works

  • Open the LIVE site in a private window and accept analytics cookies — the tag only loads after consent, never in the Studio preview.
  • Hotjar's installation check (Verify installation) reports the tag as active.

05If it does not work

  • Hotjar's checker says not installed — The checker visits without accepting cookies, so it can't see the gated tag. Accept cookies yourself and look for your session instead.
