Add analytics to Carrd.

Carrd is the fastest way to ship a one-page site, but it ships with no analytics at all. smolanalytics is one script tag you drop in through a Carrd Embed element set to head placement. It autocaptures pageviews, clicks, scroll and form submits with zero code, and you ask the numbers back in plain English.

Add an Embed element > type Code > placement Head
<script src="https://YOUR-INSTANCE/sdk.js"></script>
<script>smolanalytics.init("WRITE_KEY", { host: "https://YOUR-INSTANCE" })</script>

Add an Embed element, set its type to Code and its placement to Head, then paste both tags. The Embed element needs a Carrd Pro plan.

Carrd is the fastest way to ship a one-page site, but it ships with no analytics at all. smolanalytics is one script tag you drop in through a Carrd Embed element set to head placement. It autocaptures pageviews, clicks, scroll and form submits with zero code, and you ask the numbers back in plain English.

Carrd does not have a global head field, so you add an Embed element, switch its Type to "Code" and set Placement to "Head", then paste both smolanalytics tags into it. On publish they load in the document head across the single page. The Embed element requires a Carrd Pro plan (Pro Standard or above), so that is the one prerequisite.

For a Carrd one-pager the whole game is one funnel: how many landed, how far they scrolled, whether they clicked the single CTA or submitted the email form. All of that is autocaptured, including scroll depth and dead or rage clicks that signal a broken link. For a named conversion fire smolanalytics.track("waitlist_signup") from a small inline script next to your form. Then ask "how many waitlist signups from twitter this week" in plain English, cookieless with no consent banner, ideal for a lightweight launch page.

Honest pricing: 14-day full trial, no credit card. Then Solo $29/mo, never metered on seats or sites. Overage is $5/million with an emailed receipt, the dashboard never locks, and self-hosting the single Go binary is free forever (MIT).

How do I add analytics to Carrd?
Carrd is the fastest way to ship a one-page site, but it ships with no analytics at all. smolanalytics is one script tag you drop in through a Carrd Embed element set to head placement. It autocaptures pageviews, clicks, scroll and form submits with zero code, and you ask the numbers back in plain English.
Do I need a cookie banner?
Not in cookieless mode. smolanalytics can run without storing anything on the device, so there is no consent banner to add. You still get visitors, referrers, funnels, retention, and paths, and AI-assistant referrals (chatgpt.com, claude.ai, perplexity.ai) show up as their own channel.
Is it enough for a real product, or just page counts?
It does funnels, retention, paths, cohorts, and a daily verdict on what to fix, from the same events, and you ask it in plain English. It deliberately skips session replay, feature flags, and experiments. If you want a straight answer on what to fix, that you own and can self-host free, it fits.
