    Plugin FAQ
    What does the Yandex Metrica for Joomla plugin do?
    It automatically injects the tracking code across all pages of your Joomla website. This eliminates the need to manually insert scripts into template files, protecting your site from coding errors. The extension does not alter core system functionality or interfere with front-end rendering. It simply and securely places the analytics tracker in the correct location, ensuring Yandex Metrica can accurately collect your site's statistics.
    Is the plugin compatible with Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6?
    Yes, it was developed with different CMS versions in mind and supports Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6. This allows you to use the same solution on both old and new projects. Even when upgrading the system to a newer version, the extension continues to work correctly and does not require complex reconfiguration.
    Do I need to edit the site template or index.php files to use your solution?
    No, editing template or system files is not required. All actions are performed through the Joomla administration panel. After installing and activating our extension, you only need to paste the tracking code into the appropriate field. This is a safe way to connect analytics without the risk of deleting or damaging anything in your project's source code.
    Does installing the plugin affect website loading speed?
    It does not add extra libraries or put additional load on the system. It only inserts the standard analytics code, which is loaded directly from Yandex servers. Therefore, its impact on loading speed is minimal and comparable to manually installing the counter. The extension itself operates within the CMS and does not increase page generation time.
    Does the plugin work on multilingual Joomla websites?
    Yes, it works correctly on multilingual sites. It adds the analytics counter to all language versions of your pages, regardless of the active language. This means statistics are collected from Russian, English, and any other language versions of your site without needing to create separate counters for each language.
    Will the Metrica counter keep working after a Joomla update or template change?
    Yes, the counter remains active after updating Joomla or switching to a new template. Our solution is not tied to a specific theme and does not insert code directly into template files. Therefore, your analytics connection is preserved, and you don't need to re-add the script.
    Where exactly in the site code is the Yandex Metrica counter placed?
    Our extension automatically inserts the counter script into your project in accordance with the service’s recommendations. This ensures the script works correctly on all pages, including articles, categories, components, and dynamically generated sections. The insertion is done programmatically, without any manual editing of your project's files.
    Are programming skills required to use the plugin?
    No, it's suitable even for users who are working with Joomla for the first time. To connect the analytics service, you only need to install our extension, enable it, and paste the counter script into the settings field. Everything else is handled automatically. You don’t need to know HTML or PHP, or understand template structure.
    Can the plugin damage the site or affect other extensions?
    It does not modify the core system or edit files manually. It only loads an external script, so the risk of conflicts is minimal. The extension does not interfere with components, modules, or templates and can be safely used on both small and large projects.
    Does the plugin support websites with HTTPS (SSL certificate)?
    Yes, it is fully compatible with sites running on the secure HTTPS protocol. The analytics service code automatically uses a secure connection, so mixed content errors do not occur. It supports modern SSL certificates and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects.
    Why is your solution better than manually inserting the Metrica code?
    When inserting the script manually it is easy to make a mistake: accidentally delete part of the template break the layout or forget to add the script to all pages. Our solution automates the process and eliminates the need to edit your site files. It ensures the script is connected correctly and continues to work reliably even after CMS updates or template changes.
    Is it necessary to reconfigure the plugin after updates?
    Usually, reconfiguration is not required. All entered settings are stored in the CMS configuration, so they remain intact after updating the extension. In most cases, you only need to update the extension and the counter will keep working without any further action from you.
    After updating the extension, do I need to re-enter the Metrica code?
    No, the counter script is usually saved in the system settings and is not removed during an update. After installing the new version, the extension continues to use the script you already entered. However, if there are major system changes, it is recommended to check the settings to ensure the counter is connected correctly.
