What is a Pixel?

A pixel is a small piece of code that allows you to track user behavior on your website. It provides valuable data such as page views, conversions, and other metrics that can help you make informed decisions about your website’s performance.

Step 1: Accessing the Project Settings

To add a pixel to your Webflow site, start by logging into your Webflow account and selecting the desired project. Once inside the project dashboard, click on the “Project Settings” option located in the left sidebar.

Step 2: Adding Custom Code

In the Project Settings menu, navigate to the “Custom Code” tab. This is where you can add custom HTML code to your site. Scroll down until you find the “Footer Code” section.

  • Note: Placing the pixel code in the footer ensures that it loads after all other elements on the page, minimizing any impact on page load times.

Step 2.1: Obtaining Your Pixel Code

If you haven’t already obtained your pixel code from an analytics or tracking platform, now is the time to do so. Each platform has its own method of generating a pixel code snippet.

  • Note: Make sure to follow the specific instructions provided by your chosen analytics or tracking platform when obtaining your pixel code snippet.2: Adding the Pixel Code

    Once you have your pixel code, copy it to your clipboard.

    1. Within the “Footer Code” section, paste the pixel code snippet.
    2. Click on the “Save Changes” button to save your modifications.

    Step 3: Publishing Your Changes

    After saving the changes in the Project Settings, navigate back to your project dashboard. To ensure that your pixel is active on your live site, you need to publish these changes.

    1. In the top right corner of the project dashboard, click on “Publish”.
    2. Select a publishing method, either Webflow Hosting or Exporting (if you’re using custom hosting).
    3. Follow the prompts and publish your site.
