README

goblog-plugin-analytics

A goblog WebAssembly plugin that adds the Google Analytics (gtag.js) snippet to the <head> of every page.

Install

From your goblog's Admin → Plugins → Browse, search for Google Analytics and click Install. Or download plugin.wasm from the latest release into plugins/wasm/ as analytics.wasm and restart goblog.

Upgrading from goblog ≤ 0.6.x, where this plugin was compiled in: install it from the directory and your existing measurement ID and enabled flag carry over (same plugin name, same setting keys).

Settings

Under Admin → Settings → Google Analytics:

Setting	Default	Meaning
`tracking_id`		Your measurement ID, e.g. `G-XXXXXXXXXX`. Only letters, digits and `-` are accepted; anything else disables the snippet.
`enabled`	`false`	Set to `true` to emit the snippet

The snippet is only added when both are set. The plugin itself makes no network requests (allowed_hosts is empty) — the visitor's browser loads gtag.js.

Build it yourself

GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build -buildmode=c-shared -ldflags="-s -w" -o plugin.wasm .
go test ./...   # native tests for the rendering

Needs Go 1.25 or newer. Implements the identity, settings and template_head exports; see goblog.live/docs/plugin-api.
