Ryder supports pluggable analytics providers in production. Configure the provider in your site params and the theme will load the matching partial.

Choose a provider

[params]
  analytics_provider = "plausible" # or "posthog"

If analytics_provider is unset, Ryder emits no analytics script.

Plausible

Plausible support is unchanged and stays parameter-driven:

[params]
  analytics_provider = "plausible"
  plausible_domain = "yourdomain.com"
  plausible_advanced = true

Advanced mode keeps the outbound-links script and 404 event behavior already built into the theme.

PostHog

PostHog is intended for sites that want a richer event/session product while keeping the integration in the theme.

[params]
  analytics_provider = "posthog"
  posthog_host = "https://t.example.com"
  posthog_ui_host = "https://us.posthog.com"
  posthog_defaults = "2026-01-30"
  posthog_person_profiles = "identified_only"

The PostHog partial also supports environment variables:

• PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY
• PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST
• PUBLIC_POSTHOG_UI_HOST

Params take precedence over environment variables.

Content Security Policy

Ryder’s CSP partial automatically adds the right script-src and connect-src entries for the active analytics provider. If your site uses Hugo’s getenv in templates, make sure your Hugo security config allows the environment variable names you plan to read.
