No code to paste. Install the package, open Components › SignalHost and press Connect with SignalHost. Sign in at signalhost.io (or create a free account) and pick a container — or create one in a few minutes; SignalHost builds it in your own Google account, so it stays yours. You come back to Joomla and the tracking code is on every page of your site.

Kept up to date by itself. When your own tracking domain (for example metrics.yoursite.com) goes live, the extension switches your site to it at its next hourly check-in and clears Joomla's page cache. The screen shows whether the code is on your home page, and warns about an old or doubled copy.

What it does on your site. The system plugin prints one small loader script in the `` of your site's pages, through Joomla's Web Asset Manager (so a CSP nonce is added when you use one). It never runs in the administrator. If signalhost.io cannot be reached, your site keeps working and keeps the last good configuration.

What it sends. Only after you connect: an hourly check-in to signalhost.io with the extension's, Joomla's and PHP's versions, your site's address and whether the code was found on your home page. No visitor data, no content, no user accounts. The site token is stored encrypted with your site's own secret. Privacy policy: signalhost.io/en/privacy · Terms: signalhost.io/en/terms
