Install Simple Analytics with Gatsby 
Run the following command:
npm install gatsby-plugin-simple-analytics --save-dev
What does it do
It tracks page views with support for pushState
navigation. It sends the data to Simple Analytics and it will be available in your dashboard. You need to have a paid subscription for it to work.
How to use
-
Add our plugin to
gatsby-config.js
plugins: [ { resolve: "gatsby-plugin-simple-analytics", options: { trackPageViews: true, }, }, ];
-
If you want to set a custom domain, use this config:
plugins: [ { resolve: "gatsby-plugin-simple-analytics", options: { domain: "custom.example.com", eventsGlobal: "sa", events: true, trackPageViews: true, ignorePages: ["pathname"], }, }, ];
Read our docs on the custom domain feature.
Use with Confirmic
Confirmic provides a privacy-by-design API to ethically manage your users’ data. It’s pretty cool.
If you want to use it with Confirmic’s data-micropolicy
use this config:
plugins: [
{
resolve: "gatsby-plugin-simple-analytics",
options: {
metomic: "POLICY-SLUG",
},
},
];
It will result in something like this:
