You add that code in the `</head>` section of a theme component. You can read more about that [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-using-discourse-themes/91966).

Discourse is a single page application. So, the implementation might differ from the documentation that Statcounter provided. Your implementation has to account for that; otherwise, you’ll only get the stats for the initial page view.

Here’s an example of how we send stats on page transitions for Google analytics (this is built-in, and it only starts working as soon as you add your Google analytics credentials in the admin settings).

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/page-tracking.js#L29-L37](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/page-tracking.js#L29-L37)

You’ll also need to make sure that the scripts from Statcounter are (CSP) allowed either via your [theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/theme-modifiers-a-brief-introduction/150605) or in your [site settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mitigate-xss-attacks-with-content-security-policy/104243).
