To add Amplitude analytics to an Astro static site, use the Unified SDK initialized via `initAll()` with an environment variable API key. A provided `amplitude.astro` component loads the analytics client-side without requiring server-side code.

Yes, you can use Amplitude event tracking with Astro SSG without a backend. The browser Unified SDK initializes entirely on the client side, enabling event-based tracking and data collection directly from static pages.

The best way to set up Amplitude autocapture in an Astro project is using the Unified SDK's `initAll()` method. This automatically captures sessions and events following Amplitude best practices for user identification and safe event properties.

The Amplitude Unified SDK handles user identification in static sites by following Amplitude best practices during client-side initialization. The `amplitude.astro` component configures user tracking and safe event properties using the browser Unified SDK.

Yes, you need the `PUBLIC_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY` environment variable to initialize Amplitude in Astro. Set this variable, install dependencies, and start the Astro server to load analytics via the provided component.

You use the browser Unified SDK for Astro static site analytics because it enables client-side event tracking without server-side code. It provides autocapture of sessions and events specifically designed for static SSG environments.
