Description: How to add DataFast to your Ghost CMS site

# Add DataFast to your Ghost CMS site

Follow these steps to integrate DataFast analytics into your Ghost CMS site.

## Add tracking script using Code Injection

Ghost provides a built-in Code Injection feature that makes it easy to add scripts to your site.

1. Log in to your Ghost admin dashboard
2. Go to **Settings** > **Code Injection**
3. In the **Site Header** section, paste your DataFast tracking script:

    ```html
    <script
      defer
      data-website-id="dfid_******"
      data-domain="your_domain.com"
      src="https://datafa.st/js/script.js"
    ></script>
    ```

    > Replace `dfid_******` with your actual Website ID from DataFast.
    > Replace `your_domain.com` with your website's root domain.

4. Click **Save**

## Alternative: Using a custom theme

If you're using a custom theme, you can add the script directly to your theme's `default.hbs` file:

1. Go to **Design** > **Theme Editor**
2. Open `default.hbs`
3. Add the script just before the closing `</head>` tag
4. Save your changes

## Verify installation

After implementing either method:
- Visit your live website
- Check your [DataFast dashboard](/dashboard) for incoming data
- It might take a few minutes for the first pageviews to appear

> For advanced configuration options like localhost tracking, custom API endpoints, or cross-domain setup, see the [script configuration reference](/docs/script-configuration).

> **warning:** Custom code changes in Ghost appear on the published site, not in the preview.
