Cookie-Free Analytics for Jekyll
Jekyll is the original developer-friendly static site generator, beloved for documentation and blogs. GhostlyX adds analytics in one line, no plugin required.
Installation guide
Open your head include
Open _includes/head.html in your Jekyll project. If this file does not exist, check _layouts/default.html for the <head> tag.
Add the script tag
Paste the GhostlyX script inside the <head> block. Jekyll will include this in every generated page.
<script defer src="https://cdn.ghostlyx.com/gx.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>Build and push
Run jekyll build or push to your GitHub Pages branch. GhostlyX will begin recording visits on the next deployment.
Why Jekyll users choose GhostlyX
Jekyll is particularly popular for GitHub Pages-hosted documentation and open-source project sites. These projects often have global audiences and developer users who are privacy-conscious. GhostlyX gives project maintainers accurate visitor data without the ethical conflict of using a surveillance-oriented analytics tool on a public project.
