Hi,  
You’ll find everything you need at `/admin/site_settings/`

Don’t worry about messing things up, you can revert changes easily.

We don’t support statcounter, I’m afraid.

However, with some modifications to the statcounter script you should be able to get it to run on each page load, this would probably be your starting point:

> I think you can use the PluginAPI onPageChange function to do what you are looking for. See: [Using the JS API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-pluginapi-in-site-customizations/41281) Here’s an example function: \<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8"\> api.onPageChange(() =\>{ randBackground(); }); function randBackground() { $('body').css('background-color', '#'+(Math.random()\*0xFFFFFF\<\<0).toString(16)); } \</script\> Update: If you are looking to apply similar changes to post bodies, see [post #26 below](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-you-force-a-script-to-refire-on-every-page-load-in-discourse/74856/26).
