Go to Hotjar.com to copy the Tracking Code from the Hotjar admin
Paste the Tracking Code into the <head> section of your website.
Hotjar works most accurately if the Hotjar Tracking Code is in the Head tag (<head>) of every page you want to track on your site. This ensures that Hotjar will start tracking visitors as soon as possible.
Add the Tracking Code to your website template
We recommend adding it to your website template so that it automatically goes into each page of your site.
For a more thorough walkthrough, you can follow one of the platform-specific guides below:
Check to see if your Hotjar Tracking Code has installed.

Be careful when making major design changes to your site
If after you install the Tracking Code, your website undergoes a major design change check to ensure your Tracking Code is still installed.
