Usage

This plugin provides the plausible Liquid tag & ERB helper to your site. If BRIDGETOWN_ENV is not production, than the tag will be wrapped in an HTML comment to prevent console erros in development. Make sure you set BRIDGETOWN_ENV="production" when you deploy in your script or in Netlify/Vercel/etc.

Use the tag in the head of your document:

Liquid

{% plausible %}

ERB

<%= plausible %>
