Hotjar for WordPress Plugin

The Hotjar for WordPress plugin adds the Hotjar tracking code to your WordPress powered website without having to modify any theme files or knowing any code.

This plugin takes the current tracking code provided by Hotjar as well as your unique SiteID and inserts the code directly into your website for you.

We’ll continue to update the plugin for all to use and you can even contribute updates or suggestions via our github portal.
