Inserting the correct Tracking Code
Currently, you will need to edit your Tracking Code for it to work with LightCMS. Replace the second to last line in your Tracking Code as follows:
Replace:
})(window,document,'//static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.js?sv=');
With:
})(window,document,'//static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.'+'js?sv=');
Your Hotjar Tracking Code is now installed.
Clear Browser Cache
To ensure that the script is working correctly, clear your browser cache before returning to the store to test the script.
Once you have added the Hotjar Tracking Code to your site, you will need to wait a few minutes for Hotjar to check if it is installed correctly. This usually happens the moment your site is loaded with the Hotjar code on it (you can visit the page yourself to speed it up). Once Hotjar has detected the Tracking Code on your site, the Site Dashboard will show a notice like the one below:
Keep Tracking Code in mind when making design changes
If after you install the Tracking Code, your website undergoes a major design change check to ensure your Tracking Code is still installed.
