Problem

The Google Analytics integration was not loading properly due to a configuration issue in docusaurus.config.ts. The analytics scripts were defined twice - once with the Google Analytics configuration (lines 24-39) and once as an empty array (line 286), causing the GA scripts to be overridden and preventing analytics from working.

Google Analytics Dashboard showing no data

Solution

  • Removed duplicate scripts configuration: Eliminated the conflicting empty scripts: [] array that was overriding the Google Analytics scripts
  • Fixed version mismatch: Updated @docusaurus/plugin-google-analytics from 3.8.1 to 3.7.0 to match the Docusaurus core version
  • Implemented proper plugin configuration: Replaced manual script injection with the official Docusaurus Google Analytics plugin for better reliability and integration

Changes Made

  1. Removed manual Google Analytics script configuration from the top-level scripts array
  2. Added proper Google Analytics plugin configuration in the plugins section:
    [
      "@docusaurus/plugin-google-analytics",
      {
        trackingID: "G-W02Z2VJYCR",
        anonymizeIP: true,
      },
    ]
  3. Fixed package version to ensure compatibility with Docusaurus core
  4. Removed duplicate empty scripts array that was causing the override

Verification

  • ✅ Build succeeds without errors
  • ✅ Google Analytics script is properly injected into all pages
  • ✅ Tracking ID G-W02Z2VJYCR is correctly configured
  • ✅ Website loads successfully with analytics integration
  • ✅ IP anonymization is enabled for privacy compliance

The Google Analytics integration now uses the official Docusaurus plugin instead of manual script injection, ensuring proper loading and better maintainability.

Fixes #112.
