Each code has a distinct role, and its placement is critical for optimal performance.
| Role | Location | Best Practice | |
| Tracking Code (HEAD Section) | Your primary detection engine. It loads early to analyze visitor behavior and detect real-time threats. | Inside the <head>...</head> section. | Place it just before the closing </head> tag. |
| NoScript Tracking Code (BODY Section) | Your essential safety net. It guarantees tracking coverage even if a user has JavaScript disabled (a common tactic used by bots). | Inside the <body>...</body> section. | Place it immediately after the opening <body> tag. |
| Description | Why use this? | Action | |
| Option A: Built-in Tools (Recommended) | Most modern platforms (like Wix, Squarespace, and BigCommerce) have dedicated features labeled "Custom Code," "Script Manager," or "Code Injection." | It is the safest method and ensures the code persists even if you change your design theme. | Look for these settings in your admin panel and paste the codes into the corresponding "Head" and "Body/Footer" slots. |
| Option B: Theme Editing (Advanced) | If your platform does not have a code injection tool (common in WordPress or Shopify), you will need to edit your site's main template file. | Locate the file that controls your site-wide header (often named header.php or theme.liquid). | Paste the codes directly into the HTML following the placement rules above. |
