Title: Google Analytics Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Google Analytics * Resolved [HTID](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htid/) * (@htid) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-39/) * Ive set up a Google Analytics account and am trying to copy and paste the code snippet onto my html webpage. * I have pasted the code at the top of my html webpage. To check if it is working I have gone into my webpage and View Source but I cant see the code anywhere. * What am i doing wrong. This is so frustrating so hope someone can help. I have been on all the Google help pages but cant understand it. * The website did used to be with a different hosting company and the old web developer did set up Google Analytics for the domain. I have set up a new website with a different hosting company, none of the old website exists, just the domain. Could this have something to do with it? * Thanks Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-39/#post-1818960) * > am trying to copy and paste the code snippet onto my html webpage. * what does this have to do with wordpress? * where to what file did you add the code? what method have you used to paste the code? did you save/update/upload the edited html? * without a link to your site, no one can even try to check and see if your code is there. * Thread Starter [HTID](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htid/) * (@htid) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-39/#post-1819000) * my site is [http://www.wolvestrees.co.uk](http://www.wolvestrees.co.uk) * i thought to copy and paste the code snippet i had to go into my wordpress admin and on my page i viewed it in html, then pasted the snippet at the top.
