Analytics setup
Google Analytics Integration
PocketStarter comes with built-in Google Analytics support.
Quick Setup
1. Get your Google Analytics ID
- Go to Google Analytics
- Create a new property or use an existing one
- Copy your Measurement ID (starts with
G-
)
2. Add to your environment variables
Add this to your .env.local
file:
NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX
Replace G-XXXXXXXXXX
with your actual Google Analytics Measurement ID.
How it works
The analytics component works automatically:
- ✅ It checks if a Google Analytics ID is set; if not, nothing is loaded.
- ✅ It only runs in production (not during development).
- ✅ It uses the Next.js Script component for optimal loading performance.
