PageFox on Webflow
Where the line goes on Webflow, how to tell it is live, and why a correct install can take a little while to show up.
One line of code · nothing to maintain
<script defer src="https://pagefox.co/widget.js" data-website-id="your-website-id"></script>Where the line goes.
Project Settings → Custom Code → Footer Code.
Replace your-website-id with the id PageFox shows you when you add your site. Put the line in your shared template so every page counts.
- 01Paste the PageFox script in Footer Code.
- 02Republish the Webflow site before checking installation.
How to tell it worked.
On Webflow, the usual reason for a long wait: The site has not been republished since you pasted the line.
- 01Publish or deploy the change, the way you normally would.
- 02Open a page of your site in a normal browser window. That visit is all we need.
- 03Back in PageFox, your site moves from Not installed to Receiving.
- 04Nothing yet? Give it a minute and look again. A quiet site can simply have had no visits.
Why it can look like nothing happened.
You added it through a tag manager
That works. Your tag manager puts the line into the browser of everyone who visits, so nothing about the saved page changes, and nothing needs to. What turns this on is a real visit, and your tag manager delivers the line to every one of them.
Your site is built in the browser
React, Vue and the like build the page after it loads, so there is very little in the page before that happens. It makes no difference to the thing that matters: the line runs in the browser, and a visit from a real browser is what turns this on.
You use a cookie banner
Then the line waits for a visitor to accept before it runs. It starts working with the first visitor who does, so on a quiet day this is the one thing that can make the wait longer than you expect.
Your site sits behind a firewall or bot protection
It can turn away anything that is not a real browser, automated checks of your site included. Your visitors are real browsers, and their visits are what turns this on, so a quiet start here is a wait rather than a problem with your install.
Until that first visit arrives, PageFox says it is waiting. It does not say you got it wrong, because a quiet site and a missing line look the same from here and only one of them is a problem.
