Installing Inspectlet with WordPress

The Inspectlet WordPress plugin is the easiest way to add Inspectlet to your WordPress site. Just install the plugin, enter your Website ID (WID), and you're done — no code editing required.

Install the Plugin

There are three ways to install the plugin:

From the WordPress Plugin Directory (recommended):

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin
  2. Search for "Inspectlet"
  3. Click Install Now on the Inspectlet plugin
  4. Click Activate

Upload manually:

  1. Download the plugin zip from the WordPress Plugin Directory
  2. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin
  3. Choose the zip file and click Install Now
  4. Click Activate

Enter Your Website ID

After activation, you'll be automatically redirected to the Inspectlet settings page (Settings > Inspectlet).

  1. Log into your Inspectlet Dashboard and copy your Website ID (WID) — it's the number shown next to your site name
  2. Paste the WID into the Inspectlet Website ID field on the settings page
  3. Click Save Changes

That's it — Inspectlet is now live on your site and will start recording sessions immediately.

How It Works

The plugin automatically injects the Inspectlet tracking snippet into the <head> of every page on your site. The snippet loads asynchronously, so it won't slow down your site. It only runs on the public-facing pages of your site (not inside the WordPress admin area).

Check if it's installed correctly

To verify that Inspectlet is installed and working, append ?inspectlet_diagnostics=true to any page URL on your site to bring up the diagnostics console.

Updating or Removing

  • To update your WID, go to Settings > Inspectlet and change the Website ID
  • To stop tracking, deactivate the plugin from Plugins > Installed Plugins
  • To fully remove, delete the plugin — all settings are automatically cleaned up
