It does not “disappear” it’s still there. What happens is that we pull all inline scripts and put them in one file for your theme.

[discourse/app/models/theme\_field.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/theme_field.rb#L73-L128)

So, if you search the page-source for `theme-javascript` you should see something like this

![theme javascript file](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/d/7/d788dba8a0c0e0b9a4cb4eb89fe3028cfe03a685_2_689x31.png)

This file will contain all of your inline scripts.

Also, Discourse has native support for Google Analytics, so why not use that?  
Search the settings for `Analytics`
