Share On        


If your developing AMP pages for your website then adding direct Google Analytics or Other Analytics script code, it will lead to validation errors. As AMP pages don't support javascript.


But don't worry AMP has component called <amp-analytics> tag which can be used to add not only Google Analytics but Other Analytics too.


In this article, I will show you how to integrate with Google Analytics.


AMP Google Analytics Code


Basically, to make your Analytics works you need to add the following code


Include AMP Analytics Component

<script async custom-element="amp-analytics" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-analytics-0.1.js"></script>


Add This Analytics Script At The End Of Body

<amp-analytics type="googleanalytics">
    <script type="application/json">
        {
            "vars": {
                "account": "GOOGLE ANALYTICS ID"
            },
            "triggers": {
                "default pageview": {
                    "on": "visible",
                    "request": "pageview",
                    "vars": {
                        "title": "TITLE OF THE CURRENT PAGE"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    </script>
</amp-analytics>


Make sure to change the GOOGLE ANALYTICS ID & TITLE OF THE CURRENT PAGE respectively.
