I was given some code and a tracking code by google for this purpose but I don’t know what to do with it.

Thats it. * Make sure to save a copy of your Footer.php in case something goes wrong, so you can simply replace it. * [manavkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manavkumar/) * (@manavkumar) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-tracking-code-3/#post-4287615) * Put this code in header.php file under tag in your child theme or custom theme folder and it will take 24 hours to reflect on your Google analytic’s dashboard. * [satrap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/satrap/) * (@satrap) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-tracking-code-3/#post-4287618) * [@manavkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manavkumar/) while that works too, but if you care about your site’s speed, you would want to put scripts in your footer.
