# Analytics
## Pirsch
### Setup
1. Create a new site on [Pirsch](https://pirsch.io/ref/beJar7BgQM)
2. Set the data-code in the Pirsch script tag in `layout.ts`
```html
```
### Safe routing
Some browsers and ad-blockers might block the requests to the Pirsch javascript file.
To avoid that, **Shipped** includes a rewrite rule in `next.config.js`
```javascript
async rewrites() {
return [
{
source: "/pirsch-extended.js",
destination: "https://api.pirsch.io/pirsch-extended.js",
},
];
},
```
This rule is already included, so no action from you is required.
### Extra
Pirsch allows you to track specific events on the page. See the [documentation](https://docs.pirsch.io/advanced/events?ref=shippedclub).
## SimpleAnalytics
[SimpleAnalytics](https://www.simpleanalytics.com/?ref=shippedclub) is another popular analytics product.
To enable add this code to the `layout.ts` file
```typescript
import Script from "next/script"
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
return (
/* ... */
{children}
);
}
```
Then update `next.config.js`
```javascript
async rewrites() {
return [
{
source: "/simple-analytics.js",
destination: "https://scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com/latest.js",
},
{
source: "/simple-analytics-noscript.gif",
destination: "https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/noscript.gif",
},
];
},
```
