# Static sites
Static sites, whether hand-written HTML or the output of a static site generator, are the simplest case and work out of the box. Paste the snippet into your shared layout or template so it lands on every page:
```html
My site
...
```
Each full page load fires one `page_view` (path + query string, no hash). Same-origin link clicks are tracked automatically; external links are deliberately left untracked. There is no client-side router to patch, so this is the entire integration.
