Understanding Head Scripts and Body Scripts

Head Scripts are injected into the head section of your page. Use this area for scripts that need to load before the page content for example analytics tracking codes and meta scripts.
Body Scripts are injected at the end of the body section of your page. Use this area for scripts that load after the page content for example tracking pixels and chat widgets.

Important Note
Scripts added on this page only apply to this specific page. If you need a script to run across your entire website use the Site Scripts option under Site Management instead. Only add scripts from trusted sources. Incorrect or malicious scripts can affect the performance and security of your website. If you are not sure which script to use or where to add it contact support at [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between Head Scripts and Body Scripts?
A: Head Scripts load before the page content and are used for analytics and tracking codes that need to initialise early. Body Scripts load after the page content and are used for tools like chat widgets and tracking pixels that do not need to load before the page.
Q2: Where do I add a script that needs to run on every page of my website?
A: Go to Site Management and click Site Scripts to add a script that runs across your entire website rather than on a single page only.
Q3: I added a script but it does not seem to be working. What do I do?
A: Make sure you clicked Save Changes after adding the script. If it is still not working check that the script code is correct and complete. If you are still having trouble contact support at [email protected].
