FAQPage Schema
How do I add PostHog analytics to an Astro static site?▼

Add PostHog analytics to an Astro static site by embedding an inline PostHog snippet and wrapping pages with a reusable layout. This approach initializes product analytics without altering existing build workflows.

Why does my PostHog script break when integrated into Astro?▼

PostHog scripts break when Astro processes client-side code instead of treating it as static. Use an is:inline snippet within a dedicated layout to prevent Astro from transforming the PostHog JavaScript SDK during the build.

Do I need environment variables to track events in Astro with PostHog?▼

Yes, environment variables are required to store PostHog tokens securely. The integration enforces environment-variable usage for keys to initialize event tracking and user identification safely within your Astro project.

Can I identify users and track errors in a static Astro project?▼

You can identify users, track events, and handle errors in a static Astro project using the PostHog JavaScript Web SDK. The integration provides reusable components and guidance to implement these analytics features consistently.

What is the best way to initialize PostHog across multiple Astro pages?▼

The best way to initialize PostHog across multiple Astro pages is using a reusable PostHogLayout. Wrapping pages with this layout ensures the inline PostHog snippet initializes analytics consistently throughout the static site.
