Astro sites should add the tracker in a **base layout** ``, not inside a page component.
## Tracking snippet
## Base layout
In `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro` (or your root layout):
```astro
---
// frontmatter
---
```
Replace `YOUR_SITE_TOKEN` with your token from the dashboard.
## Why the layout?
Astro page components may not share a single ``. Putting the script in the layout guarantees every route loads the tracker once.
## Verify
Run `npm run dev`, visit two different routes, and confirm both pageviews appear in XPmetric.
