No backend, no database, no cost.Your NameSetting Up Google Analytics on Your Jekyll Course Site2025-06-28T00:00:00+00:002025-06-28T00:00:00+00:00https://jekyll.imswarnil.com/blog/google-analyticsGoogle Analytics 4 (GA4) makes it easy to track how readers interact with your Jekyll LMS site — which courses are most popular, how far they read, and which lessons get the most engagement. Best of all, it works entirely client-side: no backend needed.

Create a GA4 Property

Head to analytics.google.com and create a new GA4 property. Copy your Measurement ID — it looks like G-XXXXXXXXXX.

Add to _config.yml

google_analytics: "G-XXXXXXXXXX"

JekyllLMS automatically injects the GA4 snippet into every page when this key is set. No additional setup required — just run jekyll build and deploy.

Verify in Dashboard

Open GA4’s Realtime report and visit your site — you should see your session appear within 30 seconds. Give it 24–48 hours for full data to populate.
