Where should you paste the GA tracking code?

• A. On all your web pages
• B. In the GA admin panel
• C. On the homepage only
• D. In your site's robots.txt

Answer: (A)

Tracking code must be on every page you want to measure so data from all pages is sent to GA. The snippet runs in the visitor’s browser as pages load and reports pageviews and events back to your GA property. If it’s only on the homepage, visits to other parts of the site won’t be recorded, giving an incomplete view of user activity. To keep data complete, insert the GA snippet into your site’s template (in the head or early in the body) or use a tag manager so it loads on every page automatically. In GA4, you typically use the global site tag with your measurement ID or a container in Google Tag Manager that fires on all pages. For single-page apps, you’ll also need to fire pageview events on route changes, ensuring data collection across the entire site.
