Cookie-Free Analytics for Ruby on Rails
Rails applications can add GhostlyX to the application layout in one step. Track your marketing pages and application views with accurate, cookie-free analytics.
Installation guide
Add the script to application.html.erb
Open app/views/layouts/application.html.erb and add the GhostlyX script inside the <head> tag.
<!-- app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->
<head>
<title><%= content_for?(:title) ? yield(:title) : 'My App' %></title>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<%= csp_meta_tag %>
<script defer src="https://cdn.ghostlyx.com/gx.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"><\/script>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
</head>Turbo Drive compatibility
GhostlyX automatically detects Turbo Drive page transitions (used by default in Rails 7 and above) and tracks them as individual pageviews. No extra configuration is needed.
Why Ruby on Rails users choose GhostlyX
Rails applications using Hotwire and Turbo benefit from analytics that understands SPA-style navigation. GhostlyX handles Turbo Drive transitions automatically. Because Rails is often chosen by teams who value the "convention over configuration" philosophy, GhostlyX's zero-configuration privacy compliance is a natural fit.
